:52:02
Within a few years, he had...
:52:04
every casino on The Strip
trying to copy off of him.
:52:06
SAM: Between my innovations...
:52:11
and Nicky's dedication to his job...
:52:16
I soon had the best operation on The Strip.
:52:22
Watch yourself. There's a lot of heat on you.
:52:26
Why, somebody is complaining?
:52:27
I'm hearing things from security.
They're all ex-cops.
:52:30
The sheriff wants to put you
in the Black Book.
:52:33
That Black Book is a bunch of bullshit.
:52:35
There's two names in it
for the whole country...
:52:37
and one of them is still Al Capone.
:52:39
They put you in that book,
you're gonna be in trouble.
:52:41
You won't be able to walk into a casino.
:52:44
I'm trying to make a living, that's all.
:52:47
I'm just telling you.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Mrs. Rothstein,
straight ahead. Very nice. Thank you.
:52:59
[People chattering]
:53:04
PHlLlP: For his hard work and dedication...
:53:06
and the new life blood
he has instilled in Las Vegas...
:53:09
Sam has established himself
as an indispensable member...
:53:12
of the gaming community.
:53:14
As the head of
the Tangiers Gaming Corporation...
:53:16
it's my pleasure to welcome
Sam Rothstein...
:53:19
to the Vegas Valley Country Club.
:53:21
[Applause]
:53:27
SAM: Back home, they'd put me in jail
for what I'm doing.
:53:30
But out here, they're giving me awards.
:53:33
It is with great pleasure that I accept
this certificate of appreciation...
:53:37
from the Charitable Foundations
of Greater Las Vegas.
:53:40
Congratulations, sweetheart.
:53:42
Sam raised more than
we've ever raised before.
:53:46
SAM: But my greatest pleasure
was watching my wife work the room.
:53:51
They all loved her.
How could you not love her?
:53:53
She could be the most charming woman
you ever saw.
:53:56
People loved to be around her.
:53:58
You've got to bring Amy
to Sasha's birthday party.
