Vincent Primo pulls up in his Black SUV with 3 of his soldiers. As Vincent gets out, he rushes into his mansion and upto his office. His younger brother/underboss is there waiting for him with a phone:

T: Vinnie, cousin Aldo is on line 2.
V: Thanks Toni. (Toni hands Vincent the phone and leaves) Hello?
A: Cousin Vinnie! How ya been?
V: Pretty good Aldo. Listen I'm calling you on some official business. The Galgisa Family is threatening La Familia Primo.
A: (Gets serious) What is it, Vinnie?
V: Me and Toni just had a run in at one of our clubs with Frank Galgisa, a capo in the Galgisa Family.
A: FRANK GALGISA!? What the fuck is he doing out in Las Venturas?
V: He said that his brother, Don Galgisa, is planning to expand here. But the thing is, they said they're going to take over Las Vegas first.
A: But in order to do that, they would have to take out my family.
V: Exactly. All 'm saying is watch your back out in Vegas, okay Aldo?
A: Okay. Thanks Vinnie. (They then hang up)

[Senator Nicholas Primo]

As Vincent Primo sits in his office watching the security monitors, his younger brother/underboss walks in with a stranger:

T: Hey Vinnie. (They shake each others hand as Vincent looks at the stranger)
V: Who the fuck is this?
T: Vinnie this is one of our top capos from the Primo Family in Liberty City. His name is, Christopher Sambrino. Better known to the general public as Big Chris; the North Holland butcher.
V: You're Big Chris Sambrino!? I've heard a lot about you from our family back in Liberty. How ya doing? (They shake each others hand) I don't mean to sound rude, but I'm a really busy man. So tell me why are you here?
T: Vincent we're currently on the verge of war with the Galgisa Family in Las Vegas. We need as many soldiers as we can.
V: I agree. So what do you have in mind Toni?
T: As you know, I have a business front for our family out in San Fierro.
V: Yeah I know, "Toni's Bistro".
T: Yeah. Well I've been recruiting heavily out in Ocean Flats, San Fierro. I've got over 150 men now.
V: That's great news. The Galgisas won't know what hit em'.
T: But, I've been wondering since we're now expanding into San Fierro, can we form a new Primo Family out there?
V: Hmm... That isn't such a bad idea. Who do you recommend to be the don of our family out in San Fierro?
T: Me. All of the men I've recruited out there will be members of my family.
V: Okay. But who's gonna be my new underboss here in Las Venturas?
T: Christopher here would make great underboss.
V: Okay. (Vincent stands up, and goes up to both of them) Christopher Sambrino, do you accept this responsibility?
C: Yes, boss.
V: Good. You're now my new underboss. (Vincent turns to Toni) Are you ready to run you own family, Toni Primo?
T: Yes, boss.
V: Good. You'll now be known as San Fierro's, Don Primo. Congratulations to both of you. (They both shake Vincent's hand then leave)

[Don Ben Costello]

After being stripped of his weapons by the guards, he walks up to Vincent's Office, and takes a seat.

B: Hey Vin, sorry for coming at such short notice. But, I have an idea. I heard about your ongoing war with the Galgisa Family in Vegas. I have an idea. There are many high-ranking Politicians, Senators et cetera who like to gamble in Vegas, as well as high-ranking Police members. What you should do, is open a few businesses in Vegas, like Clubs and Gambling Parlours, Casinos et cetera, and bribe them, not just with money though, you could bribe them with luxuries at your businesses in Vegas, like VIP status at certain Clubs. I'd be willing to support your Family.

[Senator Nicholas Primo]

V: Hmm... That ain't such a bad idea. I've been thinking about opening a casino somewhere for quite a while now. If I do that, I'll have every politician & cop in Vegas in my family's pocket. Thank you Don Costello, (Vincent shakes Ben's hand) and since this was your idea, I would like to offer your family a stake in the casino I'm soon gonna open. You'll get 35% of the profits my family will make. What do ya say?

[Don Ben Costello]

Ben: (Shaking Vincent's hand) That sounds fine. Also, let me give you some good advice. If you want to earn big bucks in an area, you've got to learn their main sources of income. Las Vegas is a resort city, so we can open a few private resorts and Hotels over there. It is also big on shopping, adult entertainment and fine dining. So, maybe a few shopping centre complexes, a few sex shops, that sort of stuff. I think Pawn Shops are doing pretty okay there too. It is also successful for forms of entertainment, and I was thinking of opening a few Cabaret Clubs. It also has the largest number of churches out of all of the United States major cities. We can get a few private doctors in secluded chapels, in case your men need assistance. There is also a lot of money to be made out of real estate. So, if we form a real estate company, we can make a decent living. Vegas has also attracted a lot of commercial interests, such as light manufacturing and banking. If we invest in a bank and influence the right people, we can get a good laundering rate from them. Also, the World Market Center in Vegas is perfect for our operations. If we run a few fencing rackets, we can obtain the goods and sell them cheaply at the blackmarket. Also, if we run a few street markets, we can use them for a drug ring. Now, most importantly. You should get a few mattresses for your soldiers in Vegas, to prepare themselves, in terms of war. If you think what the enemy is thinking, you'll strike with pure cold venom. So, I came up with an idea. I have a few contacts related to the Gripentog family, who run the family-owned Las Vegas Boat Harbour. I have a few ideas for how to use the Harbour. Okay, if we open a few Abattoirs, basically Slaughterhouss, we can slip in a few firearms with the packaged meat. We can also get a few Butcher's, and use their freezer trucks to transport, I dunno, maybe some Drugs or Firearms? And, if we opened a Clothing Retail Store with Retailer Trucks in Las Vegas, that would be good. I have a contact in Vegas, a former Diamond Thief, now a Business Entrepreneur who owns numerous Jeweller's throughtout the city. Through HIS contact, he gets excellent quality-cut diamonds from a Transportation Hub. He owes me a lifetime of gratitute due to my many favours to him, so if we open up a clothing store, he'll let us sell the Diamonds using our trucks, and we'll get 75% of the overall profit. Also, about our Casino. If we get a few Armoured Trucks from there, we can use them to smuggle firearms. Also, if we got a Casino and Hotel complex, we could run a secret Brothel there. Why? Simple. For the war effort against the Galgisa Crime Family, and to get enough money to support us through the war. But first, before you do anything, you should try bribing unfaithful members of the opposite side to working against them, perhaps Outsiders who are not content, or uncontent Family Associates. I know it's a lot, but bear with me, okay? Call in a meeting between the two Families. Say you want a truce. Put in a few lookouts, a few Snipers. If they try any "fancy crap", the Snipers will make sure they're sleeping with the fishes. Capische? It's your Family, so you can call the shots. What do you say?

[Don Ben Costello]

Ben: By the way, I actually heard about a Casino and Hotel complex a close Associate of mine, Natale Geracitizzi is willing to sell for a fair price. He's willing to sell us the Kingdom Casino for five hundred grand, and when you think about the profits, the interior, as well as the benefits and perks, including the fact that we can attract lots of High Rollers via the Hotel, overall, not a bad idea.

[Senator Nicholas Primo]

V: That's a great idea Don Costello. But before we do anything in Vegas, I'll call in a meeting between my family, the Galgisas & the Gripentogs to make sure we all have a truce in the city and we won't have to worry about war interfering with business.

[Don Ben Costello]

(The Gripentog family aren't actual a gang, but an actual family, with the Boat Harbour being a family concern.)

[Senator Nicholas Primo]

V: Don't worry about anything, Don Costello. At the meeting, we'll get everything sorted out. The Gripentogs sound very business-like. It's the ruthless Galgisas we'll have to worry about.

[Don Ben Costello]

[] OOC Note: Vincent, I mean the Gripentog's are not actually a gang, or in any way involved in criminal activities, but they actually are a normal family, not a gang, but a family, with kids and uncles and stuff. Just to let you know. So the only Mafia is the Galgisa Crime Family. []

[Senator Nicholas Primo]

[Oh, lmao] V: Well Don Costello, I'll make sure I buy the boat yard from the Gripentogs. I'll call the mafia meeting at midnight tomorrow down at the ocean docks. I'll ask for Don Galgisa to meet me there.

[Senator Nicholas Primo]

Vincent Primo comes home after returning from Las Vegas. He walks upstairs to his office and sits at his desk. He lights a cigar as he begins to make phone calls.
