Synopsis

Casino
The inner-workings of a corrupt Las Vegas casino are exposed in Martin Scorsese's story of crime and punishment. The film chronicles the lives and times of three characters: "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro), a bookmaking wizard; Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), a Mafia underboss and longtime best friend to Ace; and Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone, in a role she was born to play), a leggy ex-prostitute with a fondness for jewelry and a penchant for playing the field. Ace plays by the rules (albeit Vegas rules, which, as he reminds the audience in voiceover, would make him a criminal in any other state), while Nicky and Ginger lie, cheat, and steal their respective ways to the top. The film's first hour and a half details their rise to power, while the second half follows their downfall as the FBI, corrupt government officials, and angry mob bosses pick apart their Camelot piece by piece. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

Better than Average Movie
May 10, 2008
Based on a true story, 'Casino' isn't an incredible movie, but it's better than average, and features some excellent performances. Fans will be happy with this recently released special edition, that features some bonus items not available on the previous dvd release.

what happens in Vegas.........

Very good cast and an awesome story line. As for the three lead characters, they couldn't have done better. If De Niro, Pesci, or Stone had been replaced, I'm not sure I would have liked it as much. Mentioned above, I thought the story line was amazing and held my attention throughout the movie. Each aspect of this movie, including a great soundtrack, gets a thumb's up. Definitely a movie that you can watch anytime.
