I thought this was a better-than-average movie. It looks great, has excellent performances, and a tight script that builds to a satisfying conclusion. I don't have any interest in the subject matter, but I imagine people who enjoy Vegas would rate this movie even higher, as it stands as one of the better films around the subject. Every scene has a purpose, and it all fits together in a way that makes sense. I didn't learn anything about myself or contemplate any deep truths about the human condition after watching, but I was thouroughly entertained for the entire run time. I would be comfortable recommending this movie to most people I know, as I believe it is a well-made crowd pleaser.
