Casino

In early-1970s Las Vegas, Sam "Ace" Rothstein gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro, his ex-hustler wife Ginger, her con-artist ex Lester Diamond and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger.
Based on a true story this film is awesome. Ace runs the casino and Nick handles the skim.... a gangster movie in Las Vegas. This movie is the rise and fall of Ace and Nick and Ginger played by Sharon Stone. Needless to say the performances by Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci and SharonStone are phenomenal. This is a sad story about a way of life that has severe consequences and death usually is the consequence. Highly entertaining but sad in the same breath. They donβt make many movies in this vain except for Scorsese and Tarantino so do yourself a favour and watch it.... immediately
