Dragotta Family

The Dragotta Family were an organised crime family who dominated the Las Vegas strip for some years leading up to 1963. The family was lead by Johnny Dragotta and operated out of the Sands Hotel and Casino.

In 1962, the Kronos Family arrived in Las Vegas and began taking assets from the Dragottas. This escalated into a gang war in 1963 after the Kronos Family kidnapped the Wolf Pack.

The Dragottas were eventually arrested after Sonny Lawson, the personal bodyguard of Johnny Dragotta who was working undercover for the FBI, had collected enough evidence to indict them all. (COMIC: Gangland)
