Danger, Power, Seduction. Welcome to Las Vegas 1973. Robert DeNiro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-carat greed toppled an empire. In an era of over-the-top glitz, Sam "Ace" Rothstein (DeNiro) is riding high as fron man for the Mob's multi-billion dollar Las Vegas operation. To protect their "investment", thebosses send in Ace's boyhood pal, hot-headed enforcer Nicky Santoro (Pesci). It's a winning hand: Ace's brain and Nicky's muscle- until sexy wild card Ginger McKenna (Stone) turns up the heat. This gripping, fact-based tale boasts extraordinary performances, a sizzling soundtrack and a dizzying look beneath the glamorous facade, beyond the closed doors and behind the eyes of the men and woman whose fortunes-and lives-were made and lost with a roll of the dice.
