The Las Vegas Sun reports on its site that, even as I write this, law enforcement agents are executing search warrants as the denouement of a long-time investigation into organized crime in the Las Vegas valley.

According to the Sun: "No more details were available this morning because of  'operational security,' police said."

This should be interesting. These days organized crime is usually brought up in relation to a possible museum planned to celebrate our city's interesting history. But maybe reminders like this will make people consider that Vegas is being a bit too quick to celebrate a past that involves, well, violent crime, and on top of that might still have just as vile a present.
