Martin Scorsese’s film, Casino, takes us back to a time when Las Vegas was still the “wild west” and the mob ran gambling and damn near everything else in sin city. Vegas-teen Matt Baker watched Casino over and over again, trying to mimic the dapper gangsters portrayed by Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. Inspired by what he saw, Matt forms a clique of other high school students who start their own drug enterprise and call themselves “The Crew.” But when one member, Jared Whaley, decides wants out, Matt feels betrayed. That’s when this copycat is inspired by Pesci’s line as gangster “Nicky Santoro.” “Got a lot of holes in the desert and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. Except you gotta do it right.”
