Mobster Joey Cusumano, known as "Joey London," died at age 90 after a turbulent period that saw his bosses sent to prison and his mentor murdered. After more than 60 years of organized crime dominance in Las Vegas, the Chicago Outfit has lost its most lucrative outpost. Cusumumano was a representative of the Genovese family at Caesars Palace and later became part of the Outfit, which controlled numerous hotels and casinos. He was also asked to replace Tony Spilotro as Las Vegas boss but turned down the position. After serving a prison term for labor union racketeering, Cusimano was placed in the Nevada government Black Book of unsavory characters banned from casinos. However, a gangland hit squad opened fire on him outside his Vegas townhouse.
