Herbert ’Fat Herbie’ Blitzstein (November 2, 1934 - January 6, 1997) was a loanshark, bookmaker, racketeer and lieutenant to Tony ’The Ant’ Spilotro and the Chicago Outfit in Las Vegas, Nevada.Biography
Born in Chicago, Herbie started working the rackets in the late 1950s. Blitzstein stood at 6 feet and weighed three hundred pounds and sported a goatee and moustache, dressed flamboyantly and drove a 1973 Cadillac Eldorado. It was said he had a close physical resemblance to the Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. He lived at 6720 North Damen Avenue in Rogers Park, Chicago with his third wife, but spent a great deal of time at Phil Alderisio’s bar, The Tradewinds in The Patch. He had been a close associate of convicted mob bookmaker Henry Kushner. When he was convicted of bookmaking by the FBI and sent to prison, Herbert took over his clientele along with mob bookmaker’s Boodie Cowan, a bookmaker that was suspected of being murdered by Anthony Spilotro. He was later convicted of racketeering. When he was released from prison, he moved to Las Vegas to serve as muscle for Spilotro. Tony Spilotro, John Spilotro and Herbie ran the Gold Rush Ltd. jewelry store, located on West Sahara Avenue, which was a front for the Hole in the Wall Gang, so named because they punched holes through walls and ceilings to grab the loot and run. Blitzstein also worked as a fence for stolen goods at the combination jewelry store and electronics factory.[1]The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang
His capo, Anthony Spilotro, in 1976, formed a burglary ring with his brother Michael and Blitzstein, utilizing about eight associates as burglars. The crew became known as the Hole in the Wall Gang because of its penchant for gaining entry by drilling through the exterior walls and ceilings of the buildings they burglarized. Other gang members included Peanuts Pancsko, Butch Pancsko and Pops Pancsko, Frank DeLegge, Michael LaJoy, Joseph D’Argento, Gerald Tomasczek, Peter Basile of Wilmette, Illinois, Carl Urbanotti of Chicago, Illinois, Ernest Lehnigg of Addison, Illinois, Samuel Cusumano, Joseph Cusumano, Ernesto ’Ernie’ Davino, 34, Las Vegas, ’Crazy Larry’ Neumann, Wayne Matecki, Salvatore ’Sonny’ Romano, Leonardo ’Leo’ Guardino, 47, Las Vegas, Frank Cullotta, 43, Las Vegas, and former Las Vegas detective, Joseph Blasko, 45, Las Vegas, who acted as a lookout and who later worked as a bartender at the Crazy Horse Too, a gentleman’s club, and died of a heart attack in 2002.[5]Following the botched burglary at Bertha’s Gifts & Home Furnishings[2] on July 4, 1981, Cullotta, Blasko, Guardino, Davino, Neumann, and Matecki were arrested and each charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, attempted grand larceny and possession of burglary tools. They were locked into the Las Vegas police department’s holding cell in downtown Las Vegas. The only members of Spilotro’s gang not arrested for the July 4th burglary were Blitzstein, Michael Spilotro, Romano and Cusumano.By this time, Spilotro’s relationship with Rosenthal had collapsed, as Tony had had an affair with Rosenthal’s wife, Geraldine McGee Rosenthal. Meanwhile, Cullotta had turned state’s witness, testifying against Spilotro. But the testimony was insufficient, and Tony was acquitted.
In 1967, according to FBI affidavits, ’Fat Herbie’ ordered the murder of associate loan shark and bookmaker Arthur ’Boodie’ Cowan for holding back a street tax. Although Herbie did not participate in the July 4 robbery, he was indicted with Tony Spilotro on federal racketeering charges. The charges were later dropped for insufficient evidence.[1]
In 1976, Blitzstein was convicted of running an illegal gambling operation.[3]
He was one of the few Hole in the Wall Gang members who was not arrested after a botched July 4 burglary at Bertha’s Home Furnishings in 1981. Blitzstein is described by FBI agent William Roemer in his book The Enforcer as one of the mobsters tested by the FBI in the early days of the Top Hoodlum Program. Herbert was a 183-cm, 135-kg (six-foot, three-hundred pound) man who drove a white 1973 Cadillac Eldorado and dressed impeccably.[1]
In 1987, Blitzstein was convicted on federal charges, including credit card fraud, conspiracy, and receiving stolen property. He was sentenced to eight years in prison.[4]
While incarcerated in California, Blitzstein was taken off his heart medication by a prison medic and suffered a heart attack as a result. His case was part of a 1991 congressional investigation into medical abuse in prisons.[5]
On 10 December 1991, Blitzstein was unanimously nominated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board for inclusion in its official Black Book. Former police officer and board member Steve DuCharme said that Blitzstein’s life ’reads like a crime novel,’ and that Blitzstein was responsible for some of the most ’embarrassing’ crimes in Las Vegas city history. Nevada Deputy District Attorney Charlotte Matanane called Blitzstein a ’notorious and unsavory person’ during the relevant board hearing, and accused him of associating with Frank Rosenthal, among others.[3]
On 6 January 1997, Blitzstein was killed execution style in his Las Vegas home.[6] He was shot by mob members from Buffalo and Los Angeles who planned to take over his street rackets,[7] which included prostitution, insurance fraud and loansharking. Of the seven people arrested in the plot to kill Blitzstein, four pleaded guilty to lesser charges in order to receive reduced sentences. One died in prison awaiting trial, and two went to trial and were acquitted.[8]In popular culture
Blitzstein, portrayed in the film Casino by Bret McCormick as Bernie Blue, was not murdered by the Las Vegas police during a bungled arrest as portrayed in the film.The shooting depicted in the movie ’Casino’ was that of another reputed associate of Anthony Spilotro named Frank Bluestein, not Blitzstein as stated above.ReferencesFurther reading

Back in the old days, Fat Herbie Blitzstein was a somebody, a man to step aside from, under Tony Spilotro, back in the 1980’s when Spilotro and his crew ruled Vegas. Nicky the Ant Spilotro was Chicago representative in Vegas and since Fat Herbie was Tony the Hat’s top loan shark, Fat Herbie could do what he wanted to do, say what he wanted to say, and take whatever he wanted to take.
Then the bosses back home ordered that Tony the Ant be turned into trunk music, by his own crew. They whacked him in an Indiana cornfield and left him buried half alive. After that, Fat Herbie was just another Vegas hustler looking for a buck. The boys back in Chicago didn’t want to have anything to do with him, hell, they didn’t want anything to do with Vegas anymore.
Then in January of 1997, the outfit killed Fat Herbie. A hitman put two in his skull as he sat in a black leather easy chair in his Vegas home. Oh, how the mighty had fallen.
The problem was that Fat Herbie stayed obnoxious and greedy up till the day he died because he still figured he was under Chicago protection.
But nobody else saw it that way, including the Los Angeles mob, called the Micky Mouse Mafia, and its new partner in Vegas, the Buffalo New York family. Together they decided to move in on Vegas in a big way and would start with Fat Herbie Blitzstein’s rackets.
A meeting was held in L.A., Johnny Branco, an ex-con out of Los Angeles who was also wearing a wire for the FBI, was there, so was Carmine Milano, underboss of the Los Angeles mob and two of his boys, Steve Cino and Steve Caruso.
Bobby Panaro, out of Buffalo was there, the FBI figures he represented New York’s interest in the deal.
It was agreed at the meeting that after they took over Fat Herbie’s operations, that he would be allowed to retire out of the game, and he wouldn’t be killed. The Buffalo people wanted it that way.
What they didn’t know was that the L.A. hoods had already decided to whack Herbie, if for no other reason than to show the world that Los Angeles was no longer taking orders from Chicago or anybody else.
It’s always somebody you know. In Herbie’s case, the guy who sold him out was Joe DeLuca, who had fronted for Fat Herbie’s Iona car repair shop. A few days before the hit, DeLuca met with Panaro, Cino, Branco and Caruso at a Denny’s restaurant outside Vegas and divided up Fat Herbie’s belongings. Wayne Matecki Mob
DeLuca told the hoods how much they could expect to make off of Fat Herbie’s various scams and then told them that Herbie kept most of his loot inside his house. He even told them where it was and how much of it there was. Fat Herbie Blitzstein Girlfriends
DeLuca sold his friend out for a larger share in the car repair business and agreed to let the hoods, either Buffalo or L.A., continue to run insurance scams out of the shop. Las Vegas Mob Hits
Adding insult to injury, Mauriello told the FBI that he managed to hire two hitmen, Richard Friedman, and Antone Davi, 29, to take Fat Herbie out..for $3,500.
Peter Caruso burglarized Blitzstein’s home a few hours before the hit took place, he got about $50,000 worth of loot and on his way out left the door open for the hit men he had hired through Wise guy Alfred Mauriello.
It was late when Fat Herbie got home. He sat down in an oversized black leather chair in his office off the living room and closed his eyes for a minute. When he opened them, the hitmen, Friedman and Davi, were standing over him, guns drawn.
’Why me?’ Fat Herbie asked. First nba coach fired odds. ’What did I do?’ Herbie Blitzstein Photos
They answered him by pouring six shots into his oversized chest. Make money scratch tickets.Herbert Fat Herbie Blitzstein
