Las Vegas will always be known as the gambling capital of the world. It is where big and small time gamblers, hopefuls and people who are looking for fast cash and a night of luck are gathered. Las Vegas is a place lined up with hotels and big time casinos that glitter and shine in the night. Las Vegas is the city that never sleeps. It is some peoples dream to win it big in Vegas.

Ocean Eleven is a movie that is set in Las Vegas. It is a remake of the 1960 film under the same title. The movie has a wonderful cast of award winning and brilliant actors including: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Adam Garcia and Ben Affleck. The movie started with Clooneys character Danny Ocean being released from parole and greeted by his long time friend, Rusty (Pitt).

They went to their friend and former casino owner Reuben to help them finance the scheme. They agreed to rob three casinos in one night which is owned by Reubens rival Terry Benedict (Garcia). They then called their former friends in their gang and started to plot the robbing of the casinos. Reuben instructed them to time the plan during the Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko boxing match where casinos are expected to store from up to 150 million USD in their vaults, in preparation for the large crowds who will gather to play and witness the fight.

The plan was a huge success as they all came home with the money from Benedicts vault. All of them was rich and Reuben was happy that finally Benedict paid for everything he did to him. The film reminded us all how much money there lies in a casino in Vegas. It also featured the city of Vegas which is in its usual glamour state and brimming with people.

A lot of people usually are undecided of coming to Vegas and play, whether it is from the doubt which arises if he will win or not. Some people are more risk takers and took it by chance for who knows; maybe it could just be their lucky night?
