Like many mafia stories, the history of the Mob Museum, now in its 10th year in downtown Las Vegas, has had its fair share of fans and detractors.

They hit the town, they gaze in wonder at the neon-bedecked excess, they survive assorted hijinks. Then they go home. But a few Vegas movies get us, really get us, right where we live. And no movie fills that bill better than “Casino.”
