If not for some (incredibly, albeit minimal) surprise twists in the finale, Stealing Las Vegas is just a High School project remake of Ocean's Eleven.
Sure there's some female nudity and a spark of violence, but other than that this would've worked better on a stage in front of an assembly of kids.
While trying to throw too many plot points into a simple story of a robbery, Stealing Las Vegas just shows the plight of injured knee Nick and his PC-multi-race gang trying to get past basically one door in a failing Casino to nab twenty million from their clichéd bad casino boss.
I would hand it to these young (and old, sorry, Eric Roberts) kids by remaking Ocean's Eleven on a shoestring budget. But, their heart was hardly in it. Sure, they went through the motions and said and did what the script/director told them to do, but barely did I believe any of this world existed. Or, their performances.
In the days of Blockbuster Video past, if the Ocean's Trilogy was all rented out, I'd still recommend picking a different film or genre. Not worth anyone's time.

Ocean's Lite
A mess of a film that makes me ashamed to live in vegas
A horrible... and I emphasize HORRIBLE film with such a messy plot and clearly an messy production. Not even Eric Roberts can save it. If you want an authentic Las Vegas set film, watch the Hangover.
Good concept, but obviously low budget
I really liked the concept and what they did with what they had.
It was obvious that it's a low budget movie. I like some low budget movies, but there was so much more they could do with this movie across the board (acting, directing, editing, etc.).
Based on the movie, I do believe that they did the best with what they had.
I just wish they put more $ into making the movie. The concept was great.
The movie was kind of like a cheap version of Ocean's Eleven.
I don't think I would recommend anyone see it.
