A fan-made poster captures the essence of Martin Scorsese's Casino

As Sam “Ace” Rothstein in Martin Scorsese’s Casino, Robert De Niro dons a series of ostentatious suits say a lot about his character’s ambitions and the limited ways he can express his wealth and class. A Jewish gambler put in charge of a mob-run casino, Rothstein has to navigate between gangsters who view him as an outsider and a Vegas political establishment that’s either suspicious of his winnings or outright prejudicial, especially once he tries to assert power. Rothstein has to be pragmatic, but he has a weakness for his hustler wife (Sharon Stone) and the peacock fashion-wear of a Sin City executive. In that spirit, this perfect fan-made poster surfaced on Reddit today.
