At midnight on New Year's Eve, the tower is blown up and the Las Vegas Strip goes dark, as the men sneak into the money cages, hold up the cashiers, and dump their collection bags into the hotels' garbage bins. Demolition charges are planted on a local electric power transmission tower and the backup electrical systems are covertly rewired in each casino to open the cashier cages when the automatic generator kicks on. Sam Harmon entertains in one of the hotel's lounges. Josh Howard takes a job as a sanitation worker driving a garbage truck while others get jobs at the various casinos. The gang plans the elaborate New Year's Eve heist with the precision of a military operation. World War II veterans Danny Ocean and Jimmy Foster recruit nine comrades from their unit in the 82nd Airborne Division to simultaneously rob five Las Vegas casinos: the Sahara, the Riviera, the Desert Inn, the Sands, and the Flamingo.įrom left to right: Lester, Bishop, Davis, Sinatra, and Martin The film received mixed reviews from critics.
