Casino is a true story, chronicling a faction of the mob that ran casinos in Vegas. It was a web of corruption that had tendrils reaching into politicians, Teamsters unions, the Chicago mob, and more. The movie is based on the non-fiction book, Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the film with director Martin Scorsese.
Casino was filmed in real casinos, and the filmmakers went to great lengths to create the right look. The sets were often dark and moody, and the actors wore period costumes—crimson blazers for Sam “Ace” Rothstein (Robert De Niro), glamorous cocktail dresses for Ginger (Sharon Stone) in the beginning of the movie, then tackier white leather miniskirts as she descended into drug-fueled madness. Costume designer Rita Ryack did a great job with limited budget, and the whole production was a visual delight.

Choose a payment method, double-checking to make sure it meets the minimum deposit requirements, and follow the prompts to complete the transaction.
