This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like
quality of Las Vegas--it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal,
cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to
make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their
eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the
casinos of the 1970's and '80's are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the
Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing
and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw--Ace falls
in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral
of drugs and violence.
