A casino is a facility that houses and accommodates a variety of gambling activities. It may also offer food and drinks, as well as other amenities for its guests to enjoy. These casinos can be found all over the world and provide a luxurious experience for gamblers and tourists alike.
The Casino Experience
Casinos are designed to be exciting, with flashing lights and engaging sounds that stimulate the senses. Games like blackjack and roulette offer a combination of chance and strategy that creates a thrilling experience for players. However, there are some things you should keep in mind before visiting a casino, including setting win/loss limits and self control.
As with Goodfellas, this is a film about men in power behaving badly. It tells the story of mobster Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, played by De Niro, who runs the Stardust hotel and casino in Vegas under a false front. He’s backed by mob bosses but eventually loses control to his own lust and hubris. The script is rich with the kind of detail that Scorsese loves, from the period costumes worn by the cast (crimson blazers for Sam and glamorous cocktail dresses and slightly tackier white leather miniskirts for Ginger) to the fact that his close friend Don Rickles provided the voice for the character of Lester Diamond. This is not one of Scorsese’s best films, but it’s still a must-see for any fan of the director. It’s a masterclass in storytelling and shows off the implacable film sense that makes him the best at what he does.
