spoilerFor at least 3 of those it would seem that the word "cut" being used in conjunction with your words in a common expression is the common thing

I like the cut of your jib

You're not cut out for the job

Smell of freshly cut grass

Weaker: cutoff, bowl cut

guessCasinos, specifically Las Vegas casinos.

Your tag got a little messed up, but yeah. There is something more specific about those 5 specific ones if you want bonus points.

Sorry, since Boost doesn't see fit to handle spoiler tags, I have to use them on faith that they're working.

As for the deeper connection:

guessIt's either they were all mob casinos or something to do with the Rat Pack. I'm going to guess it's probably the latter, because the former isn't very special. Ocean's 11, maybe? Is that the list they were going to hit?
