Accomplished gambler Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro), who plays by the rules, enters the mob-controlled Las Vegas scene in the 1970s when he becomes an operator of the Tangiers Casino. His best friend, Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), is a Mafia under-boss who robs locals and cheats his way to the top of the gambling world. Now, Las Vegas hustler Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone) becomes part of their lives when Ace falls in love with her. This leads to the downfall of Ace, Ginger, and Nicky as they seek new heights in the world of drugs and violence. The message of this film is that greed, lust, and corruption lie just below the surface glitz that is Las Vegas.
