“Casino” Car Bomb Scene Pin

A high-stakes tribute to one of Las Vegas’s most explosive true stories

This isn’t just a pin—it’s a piece of Las Vegas lore. Inspired by the unforgettable explosion scene from Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino, this enamel pin captures the moment when Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal (portrayed by Robert De Niro) narrowly escapes death after his Cadillac Eldorado is rigged with a car bomb. Based on the real-life 1982 assassination attempt outside a Tony Roma’s restaurant on East Sahara Avenue, this event marked a turning point in Vegas underworld history—and now, it’s immortalized in enamel.

Measuring 1.5 inches wide, this pin blends historical grit with cinematic flair. Flames rise from beneath the classic car, echoing the drama and danger of organized crime’s final days on the Strip. Whether you’re a film buff, Vegas history enthusiast, or true crime follower, this collectible is a small but powerful reminder that, in Las Vegas, truth is often stranger—and louder—than fiction.

Designed for Drama, Made to Last

1.5” wide with bold colors and clean enamel detailing

At 1.5 inches, this pin is the perfect size to wear or display—small enough to be subtle, but big enough to pack visual impact. The car and flames are captured in clean, vivid hard enamel, with polished metal outlines that give it that classic pin-trading luster. Every element, from the plume of fire to the silhouette of the Cadillac, is carefully detailed to honor the real-life event and its on-screen legacy.

The pin is finished with a strong clutch backing, ensuring it stays securely fastened to your jacket, bag, or board. Whether you’re out on the town or curating a crime-themed collection at home, it holds its own.

Perfect for Pin Collectors, Crime Historians, and Vegas Fans

Real crime meets reel drama

This pin speaks to more than just film fandom—it’s a symbol of Las Vegas’s tangled history with the mob, casino empires, and the people who operated in the city’s shadows. It’s a perfect gift for fans of Casino, Martin Scorsese’s films, or collectors who lean into true crime, Americana, or vintage Vegas.

Display it alongside your mob museum memorabilia, or wear it as a subtle nod to the city’s darker past. It also makes a great conversation starter for anyone who knows the story behind the sparkle of the Strip.

A Blast from the Past

From Tony Roma’s to silver screen legend

In October 1982, Frank Rosenthal’s car exploded in what authorities believed was a mob hit. Thanks to a reinforced plate under the driver’s seat, he survived. Casino turned that moment into one of the most iconic scenes in modern cinema—and this pin keeps the memory alive in miniature form.

With the “Casino” Car Bomb Scene Pin, you’re not just adding to your pin collection—you’re keeping a story alive. Dramatic, historic, and undeniably Vegas, it’s a tribute to the city’s untamed past and the films that dared to tell its story.
