Robert De Niro's character in the movie "Casino," Sam "Ace" Rothstein, was based on the real-life figure Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal. Rosenthal was a professional sports bettor and casino executive with ties to organized crime.

“Mr. Rothstein, you people never will understand the way it works out here. You’re all just our guests, but you act like you’re at home. Let me tell you something, partner: you ain’t home, but that’s where we’re gonna send you if it harelips the Governor.”

While I probably like Goodfellas more than Casino, Casino is IMHO the better movie, but it does drag in parts, compared to Goodfellas.
