schwartz: so bobby kennedy gets it into his head that the mob is using las vegas, basically, to wash all their money. he wants to come and shut down all the casinos and kick the mob out. it is my firm belief that new laws are needed to give the federal bureau of investigation increased jurisdiction to assist local authorities in the common battle against the rackets. ♪ schumacher: the state of nevada was constantly vigilant about doing whatever it took to keep the feds out. one of the ways they could do that is to show that they, in fact, were regulating the casinos here and doing a good job of keeping organized crime out. the state of nevada decided to create the list of excluded persons. it became nicknamed the "black book." the black book was created in 1960, and it's called the black book because, believe it or not, it was in a black binder. they could've been more creative. they made a list of people who could not set foot in a casino. schumacher: it really was a facade to say, "you know what? we're really doing something, you don't need to bother with nevada right now." anka:
