Hollywood has always had a massive fascination with the glitz, glamour, and inherent danger of the casino floor.

These movies have heavily shaped the public's perception of Las Vegas and the professional gambling lifestyle.

The Dark Side of Vegas: Casino (1995)

Starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, 'Casino' offers a brutal, unflinching look at how the mafia ran the Vegas Strip.

It is essentially a three-hour masterclass on how organized crime skimmed millions of dollars directly from the counting rooms.

• Pesci's terrifying portrayal of mob enforcer Nicky Santoro remains one of the greatest cinematic villains of all time
• The famous 'head in a vise' scene demonstrated the brutal methods the mob used to deal with casino cheaters
• It is a historical document showcasing the exact moment the mafia lost their grip on the Nevada gaming industry

Ocean's Eleven and Rounders

'Ocean's Eleven' is a masterclass in pacing, utilizing the massive scale of a modern Vegas resort as its primary playground.

Starring Matt Damon, 'Rounders' dives deep into the gritty underground poker clubs of New York City, far away from the bright lights of Vegas.

Watching these classics is the perfect way to experience the thrill of the casino without ever risking a single dollar.
