STRIP CLUB DEAL WITH REPUTED MOB MEMBER FALLS THROUGH

Reputed mob associate 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’s 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 an 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.
