ReportSynopsis
In early-1970s Las Vegas, low-level mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro, his ex-hustler wife Ginger, her con-artist ex Lester Diamond and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger.

Not in the literal sense; however, there is a scene where a child is tied up and left alone in her bedroom while the parents are away for the evening.

The main character's toxic relationship with his wife is a fairly important part of the film. There is physical violence and several long and intense scenes of them screaming at each other.

In a torture scene, a man's head is placed in a vise which is tightened. They stop short of fully squashing his head but it's definitely a graphic and disturbing scene.

No one has an eating disorder but there is a scene which has high potential to be triggering, where showgirls are forced to line up and weigh themselves in front of their casino employers. It mentions that they do this every week. One of them (despite appearing thin and beautiful) is yelled at for having gained weight.

One could argue that Sam 'Ace' Rothstein is actually a very solid representation of a mildly autistic man who lived in an era when his condition wouldn't be classified that way.

When a man has his feet on a casino table and he’s taken out of the place for refusing to put them down, he calls people the “f” slur, which is said again the very next scene twice because he insulted the wrong person according to Joe Pesci’s character. He’s sadly not condemned for using the slur, however.

Sam 'Ace' Rothstein belittles a dancer who works for him at the casino for being 9 pounds overweight, then fires her. The dancer is depicted as very thin and in shape. The tone of the scene is not comedic, and implies that this is immoral behavior on Ace's part.
