Martin Scorsese’s Casino (1995) is a gritty, electrifying crime epic diving into the glitz and greed of 1970s Las Vegas. Robert De Niro stars as Sam “Ace” Rothstein, a sharp mob-connected bookmaker tasked with running the Tangiers Casino. Alongside his volatile friend Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci) and seductive but troubled wife Ginger (Sharon Stone), Ace navigates a world of power, betrayal, and excess.

With dazzling visuals, a killer soundtrack, and Scorsese’s masterful direction, the film exposes the dark underbelly of Vegas—ruthless mob deals, brutal violence, and spiraling personal downfall. De Niro and Pesci deliver iconic performances, while Stone’s raw intensity earned a Golden Globe. At 178 minutes, it’s a sprawling saga of ambition and ruin.
