Casino: The True Story

Explore the real-life battle between the Law and the Mob for control of Las Vegas that inspired Martin Scorsese's classic movie Casino.

In the Seventies, the Mob illegally controlled nearly all the major Las Vegas casinos, making the city one of their largest sources of cash.

Now, we tell the true story of the most crucial chapter in the city's history, when the authorities set out to end the criminal reign of terror by Mob enforcer Tony Spilotro - played by Joe Pesci in the film - and to close down the Mob's Vegas operation. Members of the crack FBI team, some speaking for the first time, describe how they were sent in undercover to find evidence that the Mob was skimming a million dollars a month from the famous Stardust casino. 

We reveal the wiretaps, the operation to catch Spilotro's gang red-handed in a jewellery heist, and the unorthodox task one FBI agent was given - to lose thousands of US taxpayer dollars on the gaming tables…
