LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Sunday marked the 25th anniversary of the release of Martin Scorsese's mob classic film 'Casino,' set in early-70s Las Vegas.
Martin Scorsese: Ranked. I don't know anymore if my love for gangster/mob films is because I grew up on Scorsese, or I love Scorsese because I love gangster films. I think its the combination of them both. Casino is often regarded as too similar to 'GoodFellas', which is the equivalent of saying Star Wars is too similar to The Hidden Fortress. Scorsese's post-Casino material was not warmly received by audiences, and by the 2000s he was on the lookout for a new actor-collaborator in the same vein as De Niro for a comeback. Scorsese found his man in Leonardo DiCaprio, himself looking to shed his Titanic heartthrob image.

'And also a lot of heartache and violence, but that's the Las Vegas that people really identify with.'
