Las vegas- Reputed mob member Vincent “Vinny” Faraci is no longer running a Las Vegas strip club that took some heat for hiring him.
Houston-based Rick’s Cabaret International, the new owners of Scores, had recently named Faraci general manager.
Rick’s Cabaret spokesman Allan Priaulx told Vegas Confidential on Tuesday that Faraci was brought in on a trial basis “while we tried to work out an agreement with him that would include his compensation. We couldn’t work out a compensation package that was agreeable to both parties, and so we made a mutual agreement to part ways. He’s exploring his other options.”
Faraci’s baggage was sure to be an issue during the licensing process. He had worked for Crazy Horse Too owner Rick Rizzolo, who was released from prison earlier this year after serving 11 months on racketeering charges.
One of Faraci’s claims to fame came during his shift manager days at the Crazy Horse Too when he hired a 17-year-old blonde who went by the stage name Jennasis. Her real name was Jenna Massoli. The former showgirl went on to become the biggest porn star in history under the name of Jenna Jameson.
