Casino is the Martin Scorsese \u201cdialing up\u201d Goodfellas to 11. It\u2019s a film that\u2019s both intense and opulent, about mafia life and Vegas and a movie that has a lot to say about its main characters and their interactions with each other.<\/p>\n

Sam \u201cAce\u201d Rothstein (Robert De Niro) is a gambling expert hired by mob elders back east to run the Tangiers hotel and casino in Las Vegas. He\u2019s aided by his partner from the big city, Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci). While Sam handles day-to-day business, Nicky deals with people who won\u2019t pay up. They make a pretty decent team, until it all goes sour.<\/p>\n

While the film has a few flaws\u2014the pacing is uneven and it\u2019s sometimes difficult to keep track of all the characters, especially when they start swapping partners and running away from each other\u2014it is a sexy movie that lays bare the seedy underbelly of one of America\u2019s most popular tourist destinations. And it shows how the mafia ultimately lost control of a city that\u2019s become synonymous with opulence, neon signs, and high-stakes card and table games.<\/p>\n

When a new casino opens, it brings jobs and money into local economies. Besides employing workers, casinos attract tourists and residents who spend their money on food, hotels, and other services. In addition, the casino\u2019s revenue is reinvested into the local economy through the rake, which means that it has a positive impact on the region. However, the number of new casinos coming online has been rising rapidly in recent years, and this is causing a lot of concern among the industry experts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
