Tony was the son of a Chicago restaurateur, but instead look to find an education in crime. He watched Chicago's most notorious crime family known as the "outfit." Tony proved himself by working the heavy, violent jobs. In 1971 Tony received his big break when he was moved to Las Vegas to keep an eye on their casino interest and nearly ran the city. In time, Spilotro's lust, greed and ambition brought numerous problems for the Chicago leadership. In the 1980s indictments stacked up against Spilotro until June 1986 when he returned to Chicago and disappeared. His body was found two years later, beaten and buried in a cornfield in Indiana. His exploits were made into a Martin Scorsese's movie, called Casino.
