Mafia Wars 2's blog

The son of an old-school mobster sent to Vegas in the early 80s at the behest of the Cavalcante family of New York, Vinnie grew up in a traditional Italian household. Vinnie soon followed in his father’s footsteps, receiving permission from the Cavalcante family to run an illegal sports book. Following an FBI sting in 1998, Vinnie’s father was arrested on racketeering and murder charges and is currently serving 4 consecutive life sentences in High Desert State Prison.

Feeling that the Mafia abandoned his father after his arrest, Vinnie severed ties with La Cosa Nostra and aligned himself with Vitale’s goons. He has been steadily increasing his influence on the Strip, gaining control of many of the most lucrative criminal enterprises in the city, including the casino protection racket. Following a verbal dispute with Tony in which Tony implied that his father had turned informant in prison, tensions have steadily escalated between the two and Vinnie is looking for any opportunity to reduce Tony’s power and influence.
