My way, or the highway
Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro move to Las Azul VeGas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tanga-Nica casino, while Nicky is his friend and tough strongman, shaking down the locals.

Ya, right, but why?
What do you mean, why? Because we say so, that’s why…
You mean poker, backgamonn, Bambi-lici…
What about those shmucks?? They need to pay, right?

You got only 14 on your side now

There’s this guy, Pato- he hasn’t paid in a long time.
He’s one of us, made guy...we’ll let him be
We always found a way: 13-15, it don’t matter, but he's a bad example

We have a parking situation here..

How dare he??
He hasn’t got anywhere to park, he has cars all around
So what: he’s gota move his ass or we’ll kick it
What if he says no, to the Casino!?
We’ll fix it, you call Mustapha Moscote, and he’s got the supervisors holed up…"
