Las Vegas is Nevadas center of entertainment. It is also known as the gambling capital of the world. Las Vegas is home to the numerous casinos, casino hotels and casino resorts of the world. It is where world-class gamblers and hopefuls of the world meet to have their stroke if good luck. Las Vegas is also home to much awaited boxing tournaments of the world like that of WBC Featherweight Champion Manny Pacquiao and Golden Boy Oscar dela Hoyas last match.
Ocean Eleven is a movie primarily based on the gambling world of Las Vegas. It is a remake of the 1960 film under the same title and is featured by some of Hollywoods noted actors like: Adam Garcia, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Julia Roberts to name a few. The movie started when Danny Ocean (Clooney) fresh out of Parole meet with longtime partner in crime, Rusty (Pitt) to plan another robbing scheme.
They went to their friend and former casino owner Reuben to help them finance the scheme. They agreed to rob three casinos in one night which is owned by Reubens rival Terry Benedict (Garcia). They then called their former friends in their gang and started to plot the robbing of the casinos. Reuben instructed them to time the plan during the Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko boxing match where casinos are expected to store from up to 150 million USD in their vaults, in preparation for the large crowds who will gather to play and witness the fight.
The plan was a huge success as they all came home with the money from Benedicts vault. All of them was rich and Reuben was happy that finally Benedict paid for everything he did to him. The film reminded us all how much money there lies in a casino in Vegas. It also featured the city of Vegas which is in its usual glamour state and brimming with people.
Some people are usually undecided of coming to Vegas and play, whether it is from the doubt which arises if he will win or not. Some people are more risk takers and took it by chance for who knows; maybe it could just be their lucky night?
