Las Vegas is Nevadas seat of entertainment and gambling. It is perhaps most popular around the world as the gambling capital of the world with its numerous and side by side casinos, casino resorts and hotels. Las Vegas is a populous and alive city, brimming with some of the rich and famous along with the hopefuls. Las Vegas is a major tourist destination for someone who is eyeing for a total night of entertainment and good luck.
The 2008 movie 21 is in honor of Las Vegas and its gambling sprees. The movie started with a young and poor college student named Campbell played by Jim Sturgess who applies for the renowned Robinson Scholarship in Harvard Medicine School which will pay for his 300,000 USD tuition fee. He was asked by the interview to relate what sets him apart from all other applicants and challenged him to dazzle him. Campbell then relates his life as a card counter in a Las Vegas casino hotel.
He was discovered by his Math professor played by Kevin Spacey when he gave the student a problem based on the Monty Hall problem of probability in which Campbell, successfully solved. He was then invited by Spacey to be part of his exclusive blackjack team of card counters, taking them every weekend to Vegas. Campbell proved to be a bright addition to the team as he began earning a lot of money for Spacey.
The movie had a sudden twist when Campbell lost in a game that made him lose a large sum which resulted to Spacey to kick him out of the club and stole all his earnings from his home in an attempt to pay him back what he lost. He later found out that all his savings were stolen by his professor. He revenged by seeking his teammates efforts as he double-crossed Spacey in a shadowy deal. Well, he got the scholarship apparently.
The movie was downright witty as it unraveled what was indeed, truly Las Vegas.
