Most of the major characters in “Casino” were accurately based on real people. Joe Peschi played Tony Spilotro. Robert DeNiro played Lefty Rosenthal. Did Dick Smothers accurately play the role of Harry Reid? It would not surprise me.

“Wow! Those are nasty looking bruises”

Three months later, likely because he is on blood thinners. Having said that, I’ll piss on this POS grave he is pure evil. Where is the Mormon church excommunicating this human garbage?

"Wow! Those are nasty looking bruises."

Indeed...!

Accident with the exercise equipment...that equipment should be banned!! Obviously not safe for a "civilian" to use at home, he could have been killed.

Not that I'm sorry he's retiring, hehe

He’d look so much better with matching bruises on the left side.

Which parts of Casino were based on real events?

The contentious gaming commission hearing in which Rothstein was denied his gaming license did have a real-life equivalent with Rosenthal getting combative with gaming commissioners. Fun fact: Chairman of the gaming commission at the time? Now-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

An otherwise excellent article marred by this little piece of the author's own groundless defamation: He doesn’t care about being criticized for using the same tactics that Joe McCarthy used.

Although he died in 2008, Frank Rosenthal (Rothstein of Casino—the Robert DeNiro character) had a geat website which is still active.

Lots of good information about him, the mob, Las Vegas and gaming in general still there.

The weirdest thing about Frank Rosenthal is that despite his name he was born a gentile of Swedish descent who was adopted by a Jewish couple in Chicago. From them he took his last name.
