Martin Scorsese paints a colorful portrait of Las Vegas 1973 as the oasis of glamour and corruption that it was. Against the backdrop, the story chronicles the rise and fall of three central characters: a play - by - the - rules casino owner (Robert De Niro) with mob connections, his childhood friend and Mafia underboss (Joe Pesci), and an ex-prostitute Ginger (Sharon Stone) with expensive taste and a driving will to get what she wants. This fact-based story is about the Mob's multi-million dollar casino operation - where fortunes and lives were made... and lost with the roll of the dice.
