Two Las Vegas Restaurants Close After Son of Piero’s Owner Allegedly Threatened Gun Violence | Eater Vegas

"An old-school Las Vegas Italian restaurant that opened near the convention center in 1982 and was even featured in the 1995 film Casino, this longtime spot is known for classic Italian fare and a storied roster of celebrity regulars ranging from the Rat Pack era to athletes, actors and musicians. The venue became the center of a family and business dispute after the owner suspended his son from management amid allegations that the son defrauded the business and took out an unauthorized $1.5 million loan; the son was later arrested after allegedly sending a threatening text about a shooting, released on $20,000 bail and ordered to stay away while authorities investigate and potential charges remain pending." - Janna Karel
