Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970's and '80's are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw--Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Entertaining film submitted by mcpapa on June 20, 2018, 6:12pm The movie is very entertaining. If you like gangster films, then this is for you. Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci do a great job acting. It is very long but definitely worth watching. Enjoyable!

ho-hum submitted by lisa on July 28, 2022, 11:54am I mean, yeah, the acting is good, but this isn't much of a memorable film. So many other Vegas films, too. What really is new here?
