:06:05
That's the truth about Las Vegas.
:06:08
We're the only winners.
:06:10
The players don't stand a chance.
:06:12
And their cash flows from the tables...
:06:15
to our boxes through the cage...
:06:17
and into the most sacred room
in the casino.
:06:21
The place where they add up all the money...
:06:23
the Holy of holies, the count room.
:06:28
Now, this place was off-limits.
:06:31
Even I couldn't get inside.
:06:32
But it was my job to keep it filled
with cash. That's for sure.
:06:35
NlCKY: They had so much money in there...
:06:37
you could build a house out
of stacks of $100 bills.
:06:39
And the best part was that upstairs...
:06:41
the Board of Directors didn't know
what the fuck was going on.
:06:44
To them everything looked
on the up-and-up.
:06:46
Right? Wrong.
:06:48
Verify $5,000.
:06:49
NlCKY: The guys in the counting room...
:06:52
were all slipped in there
to skim the joint dry.
:06:55
They'd do short counts,
they'd lose fill slips.
:06:58
They'd even take cash
right out of the drop-boxes.
:07:00
And it was up to this guy right here...
:07:02
standing in front of $2 million...
:07:04
to skim the cash off the top
without anybody getting wise...
:07:07
the IRS or anybody.
:07:09
Notice how in the count room
nobody ever seems to see anything.
:07:13
Somehow, somebody's always looking
the other way.
:07:15
Look at these guys. They look busy, right?
:07:17
They're counting money.
Who wants to bother them?
:07:20
I mean, God forbid they should make
a mistake and forget to steal.
:07:23
Meanwhile, you're in and you're out.
:07:27
Past the jag-off guard
who gets an extra $100 a week...
:07:29
just to watch the door.
:07:31
It's routine. Business as usual...
:07:34
in, out, hello, goodbye.
:07:36
That's all there is to it.
:07:38
Just another fat fuck walking out
of a casino with a suitcase.
:07:42
Now, that suitcase was going
straight to one place:
:07:45
right to Kansas City, which was as close...
:07:48
to Las Vegas as the Midwest bosses
could go...
:07:50
without getting themselves arrested.
:07:53
That suitcase was all
the bosses ever wanted.
:07:56
And they wanted it every month.
