Hollywood has always had a massive fascination with the glitz, glamour, and inherent danger of the casino floor.
From gritty mobster epics to slick, fast-paced heist movies, the genre has produced some of the greatest films in history.
The Dark Side of Vegas: Casino (1995)
Martin Scorsese's epic film 'Casino' is widely considered the greatest and most accurate portrayal of 1970s Las Vegas.
It is essentially a three-hour masterclass on how organized crime skimmed millions of dollars directly from the counting rooms.
Pesci's terrifying portrayal of mob enforcer Nicky Santoro remains one of the greatest cinematic villains of all timeThe famous 'head in a vise' scene demonstrated the brutal methods the mob used to deal with casino cheatersIt is a historical document showcasing the exact moment the mafia lost their grip on the Nevada gaming industry
The Slick Heist and the Poker Underground
If you prefer slick, stylish entertainment over gritty realism, the 2001 remake of 'Ocean's Eleven' is absolute perfection.
The film accurately portrays the difficult life of a professional poker 'grinder,' struggling to build a bankroll and avoid loan sharks.
