Las Vegas Shakedown

Dennis O'Keefe plays the ultra-cool Joe Barnes, owner of the resort and casino El Rancho Vegas.All sorts of interesting people come to the El Rancho -- a sweet, shy schoolmarm and author named Julie (Coleen Gray) who attracts Joe's romantic interest; an estranged couple (James Millican and Dorothy Patrick) contemplating divorce; a gambling addict (a hard-to-recognize dark-haired Mary Beth Hughes) who loses money her husband (Frank Hanley) planned to use for a business; a proper banker and his wife (Charles Winninger and Elizabeth Patterson) who don't want anyone back home to know they're in "scandalous" Vegas; and oh, yes, the mobsters (Thomas Gomez, Robert Armstrong, and Joe Downing) intent on killing Joe. It seems Gimpy (Gomez) just got off Alcatraz and is determined to see Joe dead.
