The mob was pissed that this affair was messing with their money and bodies started dropping. Geri & Tony had a years long affair and they in all likely hood blew up Lefty in his car. The story of Lefty Rosenthal, his wife Geri and his business partner Tony Spilotro is an explosive(that's a pun) tale.
It felt like the author Mitch Pileggi was more interested in the skim so that's what he focused on but come on.I came here for the sex and murder! So maybe I'll give it a rewatch now that I've read the book.Ĭasino is pitched as being an action packed tale of love death and betrayal.but Nope!Ĭasino actually spends the majority of its time explaining how the mob and our main character(because despite being a real person Lefty Rosenthal is a character) skim money from Vegas casinos. I don't think I liked it that much but I was only 15 and I watched it right after I watched Goodfellas(One of my ALL TIME FAVES). Also I remember the men wearing a lot of terrible loud suits. The only thing I remember is Robert DeNiro's characters car explodes. (Las Vegas)Ī million years ago I watched the movie Casino because its a Martin Scorsese movie and I've seen all his movies.īut I don't really remember it. Reading Rush: Read a book set someplace you wish you could go.
