I live in vegas, and the idea of the bank seems like steve wynn. Changing the name to their name. and steve wynn looks like willy bank. What do you guys think?

Well, I guess so. They modelled Terry Benedict on Steve Wynn, and I guess Willy Bank is meant to have a lot of Wynn's traits too.

Thursday, it can't be, it's too gruesome!
What's so gruesome about Thursday?
Nothing, except I can never remember when it's coming up.

You could easily make that correlation. FWIW, I will say the actual Bank hotel, in the earliest scene when Bank threatens Rueben, was filmed on the construction site of what was then the Palazzo. Even though the Bank shows up beside Planet Hollywood, it was filmed while the Palazzo was going up.

Either Wynn or Maloof. Both have the ego.

yea I kinda see where you're going with this and yeah I would go along with that except for the fact that Steve Wynn is legally blind,, how would you make Al Pacino's character look like that,, one a side note I waited for years for Steve Wynn to make his appearance in Atlantic City, but good ole Donald Trump kept him out for so long..

are you going to bark all day little doggie,, or are you going to bite
