Synopsis

A portrayal of Las Vegas life, where the temptation of gambling is pervasive. Nationally, it has been estimated that 10 million adults and one million teenagers are addicted to gambling. Through the lives of Las Vegas' local community, reveals a cityscape beyond the grandiose new casino-hotels, a world consisting of the smaller gambling halls and countless gambling arcades that exist throughout Las Vegas. Here gambling is a constant temptation, and among the locals who patronize these casinos, many struggle daily with compulsion and self-impoverishment while walking the tenuous line between dreams and escape.
