Former Internal Revenue Service agents expect the federal agency’s tax evasion probe at Pure and LAX nightclubs on the Strip to spread to the casino partners that share revenue with the clubs.

Karl Oroz, a 25-year IRS veteran who works as an Atlanta-based private investigator specializing in criminal tax cases, said that if he were still with the IRS, he would be reviewing the revenue-sharing agreements between the clubs and the casinos and looking at the conduct of any casino executives who oversee those agreements.

Way too much cash out there. One of my former employees works the door at a club I won't name,but its one of the trendiest on the strip.He regulary walks away with a grand a nite in"tips". He's tolds me of being given $5,000 to give to a celebrity just for dropping in for a few hours.

They say Vegas is no longer run by organised crime.

That might be the case, but it seems to me that there is crime that is organised there... just my two cents worth.
