Life's an enigma, a puzzle...
a confusing struggle
between right and wrong,
good and evil, truth and deceit.
You could drive yourself crazy
trying to figure it out.
But I know one thing for sure:
You're just buying someone else's
headaches when you get a used car.

[Man Narrating]
Anthony Cortino was one of
the most powerful men in Las Vegas.
I ran the Peppermill... the flashiest,
most profitable casino in Nevada.
Hey, Barry. Keep the car.
[Anthony Narrating]
hung out with the biggest stars,
- Watch your head.
I was set.
- # Night and day #
- [Crowd, Groaning]
- # Why is it so #
- I had created paradise on earth,
and all because I ate, slept
and breathed gambling.
Hi.
- Loser. Seven out.
- Stack 'em right.
I was a gambler's gambler...
a guaranteed winner.
- That's just the way it was.
- Go fish.
The Peppermill meant cash. The money was
comin' in so fast, we couldn't count it.
Watch these guys.
I think they're stealin' towels.
And it all went right
to the Family, tax-free.
- Back to yellow. You lose.
- [Crowd Groans]
High rollers, slot junkies,
vacationers from the Midwest...
all came certain they could win,
that this was their shot at a miracle.
- Place your bets.
- It's all been arranged just
for us to get your money.
Let me see, uh, two.
That's the truth about Las Vegas.
I'm sorry, I was thinking of... three.
- [Groaning]
- The Mafia is a high-overhead machine...
and somebody's gotta pick up the tab.
- House wins.
Place your bets and guess again.
- Three.
To the bosses, I was a cash register.
All they had to do was to ring
the bell and take the money.
- One, two, three, four,
and back down the chute...
- [Groaning]
Fixed fights, doped horses,
locked-in point spreads...
- I had the cake pouring in.
- [Man] Come on, baby!
But nothing brought it in faster,
and in bigger bundles, than the casino.
- [Man] I got these. You got those?
- [Man #2] I'll get those!
- [Man #2] Yeah, you get these.
All right, I got these.
- [Man] Over here.
This was the end result of all
the bright lights and glitter:
Booze, broads, and free hotel
suites for the high roller,
cheap drinks and all-you-can-eat
buffets for the everyday sucker.
The smart ones
just send us the money...
- and save on plane fare.
- # I think of you #
# Day and night #
# I said, night and day #
# Under the hide of me #
All right, move 'em out.
Let's go.
# Oh, such a hunger yearning
It's burnin' inside of me #
[Anthony] If we had our own printing
press, we couldn't have done any better.
I made the Mafia happy, and the bosses
knew just how to spread the influence.
But life is an enigma.
I never planned for any of this.
And I'll lay you eight-to-five,
when he was a kid back in Sicily,
my father, Vincenzo Cortino,
- never thought his life would
turn out the way it did either.
