The Mob Museum invites Mob history and film buffs to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Casino” by entering the “Once Upon a Time in Vegas” sweepstakes for a chance to win a prize package valued at more than $8,000.

In addition, beginning Nov. 13, a temporary exhibit will be on display at the Museum featuring artifacts, memorabilia and rare photographs from the iconic film.

Guests will have the opportunity to see an array of movie props linked to the Tangiers hotel-casino—the fictional stand-in for the real-life Stardust on the Las Vegas Strip--as well as an original movie script donated by Frank Cullotta, never-before-publicized images from the set contributed by former Mob defense attorney and City of Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and much more.

The aura and popularity of Martin Scorsese’s 1995 cinematic classic “Casino” continues to grow 25 years after its release. Considered one of the greatest Mob movies ever made, its colorful depictions of true events in Las Vegas during the 1970s and ’80s evoke nostalgic memories for those who lived it.
