Casino (1995) | Based on a True Story
it’s finally time to review the movie Casino. Martin Scorsese really made a fascinating film that needs a lot of dissection to truly grasp how good it is. Sure it has some problems, especially with how it depicts locals, but generally it conveys a truly amazing message. This one really gets at the root of Vegas history. It’s a must watch for any local or those who actually want to learn about the history of the mob in Las Vegas.
