"Okay, I'll come over right now." Lucchese said excitedly.
"Lucchese, why not invite other families interested in the new casino? Everyone can come and see the Hardy Hotel's operations and my plans for the new casino. We can discuss any issues in person," Hardy suggested.
"Alright, I'll contact the other families," Lucchese agreed.
After hanging up, Hardy smiled. Inviting these people to Las Vegas was a way to filter them out. Anyone who came was willing to cooperate, and those who were willing to cooperate could be brought on board. With their investments, Hardy would only earn more.
The news of Hardy inviting Mafia families to Las Vegas spread quickly, reaching Barzini and others. Barzini felt uneasy. After discussing with the other two families, he made calls to familiar family heads, subtly discouraging them from going and promising that they would also build a casino in the future and invite them.
