Casino (1995)

In early-1970s Las Vegas, low-level mobster 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. poker, gambling, casino, drug abuse, 1970s, fbi, overdose, greed, rise and fall, car bomb, alcoholism, organized crime, mafia, money, las vegas, desert, illegal prostitution, 1980s
