pert handicapper who is asked by the Chicago Outfit to oversee the day-to-d=
ay casino and hotel operations at the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas. Other m=

In 1973, sports handicapper and Mafia associate Sam "Ace" Rothstein is sent=
 by the Chicago Outfit to Las Vegas to run the Tangiers Casino, with front =
man Philip Green. Sam soon doubles the casino's profits, with the extra una=
ccounted for cash skimmed directly from the casino count room, and delivere=
d to the Midwest Mafia bosses. Chicago boss Remo Gaggi sends Sam's childhoo=
d friend and mob enforcer Nicky Santoro to protect Sam, the cash skim, and =
the casino. Nicky recruits his younger brother Dominick and childhood frien=
d Frankie Marino to gather an experienced crew that specializes in shakedow=
ns and jewelry burglaries. Nicky's criminal activities in Las Vegas start d=
rawing too much media and police attention and he is eventually placed in t=
he Black Book, banning him from every casino in Nevada. Sam meets and falls=
 in love with beautiful con artist, showgirl, and former prostitute Ginger =
McKenna. They have a daughter, Amy, and marry, but their marriage is soon t=
hrown into turmoil due to Ginger's relationship with her longtime boyfriend=
, hustler and pimp Lester Diamond. Sam has Nicky's crew beat Lester when th=
ey catch him accepting $25,000 of Sam's money from her.


In 1976, Sam fires slot manager Don Ward for incompetence. Ward is brother-=
in-law to Clark County Commission chairman Pat Webb, who is unable to convi=
nce Sam to re-hire Ward. Webb arranges for Sam's gaming license to be denie=
d, jeopardizing Sam's position. Sam starts hosting a local television talk =
show from inside the casino, irritating both Nicky and the bosses back home=
 for bringing more unneeded attention. Sam blames Nicky's recklessness for =
ongoing police and state government pressure, and Sam's attempts to get Nic=
ky to leave Las Vegas only result in further strain on their friendship.


In 1986, the bosses, finally fed up with Nicky's recklessness and attempt o=
n Sam's life, order Frankie and his crew to kill Nicky and Dominick. Invite=
d to attend a meetup in a remote Illinois cornfield, they are brutally beat=
en with baseball bats upon arriving, stripped of their clothes and buried a=
live in a shallow grave. With the Mafia now out of the casino industry, nea=
rly all of the old casinos are demolished, and new casinos are built with m=
oney from junk bonds. Sam laments the new impersonal, corporate-run resorts=
 of Las Vegas. Because of his status as a reliable and high earner for the =
outfit, Sam is allowed to live and is last seen working as a sports handica=
pper in San Diego, "right back where I started," as Sam puts it before rhet=
orically asking, "Why mess up a good thing? And that's that." He takes off =
his sunglasses and stares straight ahead, pondering it all.


Casino is based on New York crime reporter Nicholas Pileggi's book Casino: =
Love and Honor in Las Vegas. The research for Casino began when Pileggi rea=
d a 1980 report from the Las Vegas Sun about a domestic argument between Fr=
ank "Lefty" Rosenthal, a casino figure, and his wife Geri McGee, a former t=
opless dancer.[6] This gave him an idea to focus on a new book about the tr=
ue story of mob infringement in Las Vegas during the 1970s, when filming of=
 Goodfellas (whose screenplay he co-wrote with Scorsese) was coming to an e=
nd.[7] The fictional Tangiers resort reflected the story of the Stardust Re=
sort and Casino, which had been bought by Argent Corporation in 1974 using =
loans from the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund. Argent was owned by A=
llen Glick, but the casino was believed to be controlled by various organiz=
ed crime families from the Midwest. Over the next six years, Argent Corpora=
tion siphoned off between $7 and $15 million using rigged scales. This skim=
ming operation, when uncovered by the FBI, was the largest ever exposed.[8]=
 A number of organized crime figures were convicted as a result of the skim=
ming.[9]


Filming took place at night in the Riviera casino in Las Vegas, with the ne=
arby defunct Landmark Hotel as the entrance, to replicate the fictional Tan=
giers. According to Barbara De Fina, the film's producer, there was no reas=
on to construct a set if they could simply film around an actual casino.[10=
] The opening scene, with Sam's car exploding, was shot three times; the th=
ird take was used for the film.[10] Saul Bass designed the title sequence, =
which was his last work.[16] The total cost for the titles was $11,316, not=
 including the fees for the Basses. Bass justified the cost to De Fina by n=
oting that creating a continuous explosion from a second shot of an explosi=
on demanded a lot of experimentation, as did getting the flight path of the=
 body exactly right.[17] When first submitted to the MPAA, the film receive=
d an NC-17 rating due to its depictions of violence. Several edits were mad=
e in order to reduce the rating to R.[18]


A casino is a facility for certain types of gambling. Casinos are often bui=
lt near or combined with hotels, resorts, restaurants, retail shops, cruise=
 ships, and other tourist attractions. Some casinos are also known for host=
ing live entertainment, such as stand-up comedy, concerts, and sports.


Casino is of Italian origin; the root casa means a house. The term casino m=
ay mean a small country villa, summerhouse, or social club.[1] During the 1=
9th century, casino came to include other public buildings where pleasurabl=
e activities took place; such edifices were usually built on the grounds of=
 a larger Italian villa or palazzo, and were used to host civic town functi=
ons, including dancing, gambling, music listening, and sports. Examples in =
Italy include Villa Farnese and Villa Giulia, and in the US the Newport Cas=
ino in Newport, Rhode Island. In modern-day Italian, a casino is a brothel =
(also called casa chiusa, literally "closed house"), a mess (confusing situ=
ation), or a noisy environment; a gaming house is spelt casin=C3=B2, with a=
n accent.[2][1][3]


Not all casinos are used for gaming. The Catalina Casino, on Santa Catalina=
 Island, California, has never been used for traditional games of chance, w=
hich were already outlawed in California by the time it was built.[4] The C=
openhagen Casino was a Danish theatre which also held public meetings durin=
g the 1848 Revolution, which made Denmark a constitutional monarchy.[5]






The first known European gambling house, not called a casino although meeti=
ng the modern definition, was the Ridotto, established in Venice, Italy, in=
 1638 by the Great Council of Venice to provide controlled gambling during =
the carnival season. It was closed in 1774 as the city government felt it w=
as impoverishing the local gentry.[6]


In American history, early gambling establishments were known as saloons. T=
he creation and importance of saloons was greatly influenced by four major =
cities: New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago and San Francisco. It was in the sa=
loons that travelers could find people to talk to, drink with, and often ga=
mble with. During the early 20th century in the US, gambling was outlawed b=
y state legislation. However, in 1931, gambling was legalized throughout th=
e state of Nevada, where the US's first legalized casinos were set up. In 1=
976 New Jersey allowed gambling in Atlantic City, now the US's second large=
st gambling city.[7]


Video Lottery Machines (slot machines) have become one of the most popular =
forms of gambling in casinos. As of 2011[update] investigative reports have=
 started calling into question whether the modern-day slot-machine is addic=
tive.[9]


Factors influencing gambling tendencies include sound, odour and lighting. =
Natasha Dow Sch=C3=BCll, an anthropologist at the Massachusetts Institute o=
f Technology, highlights the decision of the audio directors at Silicon Gam=
ing to make its slot machines resonate in "the universally pleasant tone of=
 C, sampling existing casino soundscapes to create a sound that would pleas=
e but not clash".[11]


According to Bloomberg, accumulated revenue of the biggest casino operator =
companies worldwide amounted to almost US$55 billion in 2011. SJM Holdings =
Ltd. was the leading company in this field, earning $9.7 bn in 2011, follow=
ed by Las Vegas Sands Corp. at $7.4 bn. The third-biggest casino operator c=
ompany (based on revenue) was Caesars Entertainment, with revenue of US$6.2=
 bn.[25]


While there are casinos in many places, a few places have become well known=
 specifically for gambling. Perhaps the place almost defined by its casino =
is Monte Carlo, but other places are known as gambling centers.


Monte Carlo Casino has been depicted in many books, including Ben Mezrich's=
 Busting Vegas, where a group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology stud=
ents beat the casino out of nearly $1 million. This book is based on real p=
eople and events; however, many of those events are contested by main chara=
cter Semyon Dukach.[26] Monte Carlo Casino has also been featured in multip=
le James Bond novels and films.


Casin=C3=B2 di Campione is located in the tiny Italian enclave of Campione =
d'Italia, within Ticino, Switzerland. The casino was founded in 1917 as a s=
ite to gather information from foreign diplomats during the First World War=
. Today it is owned by the Italian government, and operated by the municipa=
lity. With gambling laws being less strict than in Italy and Switzerland, i=
t is among the most popular gambling destination besides Monte Carlo. The i=
ncome from the casino is sufficient for the operation of Campione without t=
he imposition of taxes, or obtaining of other revenue.[27] In 2007, the cas=
ino moved into new premises of more than 55,000 square metres (590,000 sq f=
t), making it the largest casino in Europe.[28] The new casino was built al=
ongside the old one, which dated from 1933 and has since been demolished.[2=
