Patrick "Pat" Spilotro was a brother of Anthony Spilotro born in Chicago, Illinois.

He is one of the two Spilotro brothers that became legitimate citizens, the other being Pasquale. Patrick moved from Chicago to Las Vegas after the arrival of his brother Anthony. Patrick wanted to get a job at one of the Las Vegas casinos. Frank Rosenthal says that "Patrick was more than qualified, and legitimate." But after receiving the position, Patrick was fired within 48 hours of earning the position solely because he held the name of "Spilotro". The casino owner said that he didn't want to put up with the harassment and investigations from the Las Vegas Gaming Control Board that would follow if he hired the brother of Anthony Spilotro. The job termination of his brother Patrick, from the casino angered his older brother Anthony immensely. Frank Cullota said that when brother Patrick got fired, he wanted to go out and "whack" everybody. He was ready to start a war with the casino owner. On hearing the news from Anthony Spilotro, Frank Rosenthal told him to "go home and take a Valium".
