In 1970s and ’80s Las Vegas, a casino executive and a Mafia enforcer build a gambling empire that turns into a fight over money, loyalty, and a fast-living socialite between them. Robert De Niro is the meticulous operator running the count room and casino floor, while Joe Pesci’s volatile enforcer handles the city’s messier business off the books. Sharon Stone enters the center of their arrangement as a hustler whose appetites and ambitions keep upsetting the balance. Martin Scorsese tracks the Mob’s hold on Vegas through skimming schemes, federal pressure, and the private grudges growing behind the neon.
