Goodman is stalling a bit tonight, and says the theme of the talk will be about flipping witnesses to obtain convictions. But he didn’t care for the tit-for-tat with Goodman. In the early days of the talks, rapper Flavor Flav showed up a couple of times. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, Jossel says. Jossel says he usually invites guests who he thinks will either spar or engage with Goodman during the talks. He will often talk about his days rubbing elbows with reputed mobsters, name-dropping guys like John “No Nose” DiFronzo and Vinnie “The Animal” Ferrara - though a handy black book given to guests notes that Ferrara is still alive, visits Goodman in Las Vegas regularly and advises guests that nobody calls him “The Animal” to his face. The former mob lawyer does his in this low-lit corner of downtown. Goodman has been doing these talks for a few years, and Thursday’s was the 22nd one.
It’s a face-saving move for the stragglers. The 79-year-old takes the microphone and is initially vague about the delay, saying only that a few guests are running late. But the celebrity pimp hasn’t arrived yet, and his absence is holding up dinner. Sport coats, suits and heels fill out the room.ĭennis Hof, the brothel owner and Republican candidate for a state Assembly seat, was an invited guest too. Joe Asher, chief executive officer of William Hill U.S. There’s a couple of women from England - one a barrister in London. It wasn’t his first.Ībout 70 people have found their way to their seats, and a wait staff glides efficiently around the diners, pouring red and white wine. With a jalapeno pepper slice floating in it. It’s been even longer since he represented names notoriously affiliated with Vegas mobsters.īut in the speakeasy-like confines of Simpatico - as this private room is called - there are no clocks or calendars. Goodman hasn’t been mayor of Las Vegas for over seven years. This is his hotel, which also houses Goodman’s restaurant, Oscar’s Steakhouse. Johnny would be Jonathan Jossel, chief executive officer of the Plaza Hotel and Casino. Dean Martin croons lightly through the room’s speakers. Large wine glasses gleam - even in the dim, recessed lighting. All the chairs are leather-bound and match the walls. And a much younger Goodman, of course.Ī tall man in a trim gray suit weaves through the quiet conversations and past round tables draped in white tablecloths. The people begin to filter into the private room decorated with black-and-white pictures of downtown Las Vegas when the mob was in charge. The martini, when not in his hand, is never far from reach. The dark, pinstriped suit jacket hangs long on his body. The glow of his cellphone reflects in his large glasses.
