The real-life story that inspired Martin Scorsese's 1995 masterpiece "Casino," chronicling the rise and fall of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal's 1970's Las Vegas mob-affiliated casino empire.


The early days of Las Vegas were quiet but were soon Mob infiltrated; Frank Rosenthal and Tony Spilotro take over the Stardust Casino making it a cash cow for their Mafia bosses in the Midwest.

As 'The Skim' rakes in unprecedented amounts of cash for the Mafia, Frank and Tony become addicted to the public eye, and a bombshell showgirl spins both their lives into chaos.

With the feds closing in, affairs run amok, a botched hit-job, and new leadership in the Chicago crime outfit, the criminal empire surrounding the Stardust Casino is challenged like never before.
