Casino (1995)
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. drug abuse, casino, based on novel or book, poker, italian american, gambling, 1970s, fbi, pimp, greed, cocaine, overdose, car bomb, rise and fall, money, murder, organized crime, mafia, jewish american, las vegas, desert, aggressive, 1980s, dramatic, suspenseful, frightened, brutal violence, fbi surveillance
