I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie over the years.
Some of my favorite aspects of it is seeing the older cars and clothing styles. I know it's not *that* long ago, but I just really get into seeing the old Vegas and I really liked the home DeNiro had near the end. Sounds weird I know, I guess it's the RE developer in me....lol.

Casino or Goodfellas, that is the question.

I know, I really think I'd go with Casino. I watched Good Fellas a couple times over the last year to see how it stacked up, and Casino still came out on top.
They both kick ass though.
The Departed was great too, but nowhere near these two.

What happens to Joe Pesci in the end of Casino used to give me nightmares like crazy.

Yea, it's my least favorite part of the movie, really ugly.

I actually love Vegas bro. I've spent a lot of time in the outlaying areas (In other words I'm not just saying I love it because I've been to the strip a few times), and would love to settle down there. I'm really liking the warm weather the last few years I've been back down in Florida, but I also like access to those western mountains.
I really would love to see some sort of Casino sequel, or prequel before it gets too late. With the original cast (although I dunno about Stone, she seems nuts these days.)

Also, I never understood why Sunrise Mountain wasn't considered that desirable of an area. It had amazing views of the valley, strip, and west mountains. Was it because it didn't have decent interstate access? Summerlin was effin beautiful, but I heard (and have read) that the HOA are like Nazis out there.
