Casino (1995) Based on a true story

It's finally time to watch the movie Casino again. Martin Scorsese has truly made a fascinating film that requires a lot of dissection to truly understand how good it is. Sure, it has some problems, particularly in the way it depicts the locals, but overall it conveys a truly amazing message. This one is truly the origin of Vegas history. This is a must-see for any local or anyone who is serious about learning about the history of the Las Vegas mob.
