SummaryCasino covers the period through the seventies to early eighties when the Mafia controlled certain Las Vegas casinos. Pileggi focuses on the story of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, a Chicago bookmaker working for organized crime, and his friend, partner and also Mafia member, Anthony Spilotro. Rosenthal supervises the casino operations, while Spilotro provides protection, security and also masterminds jewelry raids that lead to his crew being nicknamed the Hole in the Wall Gang.[2]Film versionThe book is the basis for the Academy Award-nominated film Casino[3] (1995) directed by Martin Scorsese. The screenplay for Casino was by Pileggi and Scorsese. Although Pileggi had already written the book and wanted it published in advance of the film version, Scorsese persuaded him to forgo the usual chronology and to release the book after the film.[4] The two main protagonists/antagonists of Rosenthal and Spilotro were portrayed as Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro by Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. Sharon Stone, playing Rothstein's wife, Ginger, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress (lost to Susan Sarandon).[5] References1. ^[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=nrmEQgAACAAJ&dq=isbn:0684808323&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi659ClhcHLAhXGORoKHXyKDWsQ6AEIHTAA Google Books: Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas] 2. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/28/books/books-of-the-times-the-mob-s-tale-of-sorrow-about-las-vegas.html New York Times: Casino by Nicholas Pileggi] 3. ^[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112641/ IMDB: Casino] 4. ^{{cite book|author=Baxter, John |title=De Niro: A Biography|page=337}} 5. ^[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112641/awards IMDB: Casino: Awards] External links
