Before I ever ran a casino, or got myself blown up,
Ace Rothstein was a hell of a handicapper, I can tell you that.
I was so good that whenever I bet,
I could change the odds for every bookmaker in the country.
I'm serious. I had it down so cold
that I was givenparadise on Earth.
I was given one of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas to run, The Tangiers,
by the only kind of guys that can actually get you that kind of money,
62 million 7 hundred thousand dollars
I don't know all the details.
Matter of fact, nobody knew all the details
but it should have been perfect.
I mean, he had me, Nicky Santoro, his best friend, watching his ass
and he had, Ginger, the woman he loved, on his arm.
But in the end, we fucked it all up.
It should've been so sweet too
but it turned out to be the last time that street guys like us
were ever given anything that fuckin' valuable again.
At that time, Vegas was a place where millions of suckers
flew in every year on their own nickel and left behind about a billion dollars.
But at night, you couldn't see the desert that surrounds Las Vegas.
But it's in the desert where lots of the town's problems are solved.'
A lot of holes in the desert and a lot of problems are buried in those holes.
Except you gotta do it right.
I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug
before you show up with a package in the truck
Otherwise, you're talking about a half hour or 45 minutes of diggin'.
And who knows who's gonna be comin' along at that time?
Before you know it, you gotta dig a few more holes.
You could be there all fuckin' night.
