Casino is amazing. It's a spiritual sequel to Goodfellas and for my money it's not only better but probably my favorite Scorsesese movie. It's long as hell and spans a couple decades, it's similar to Goodfellas in a lot of ways but the scope is much broader and I think the characters are richer. I'm also someone who is quite aware and fond of his non mob movies, it's weird stuff like Raging Bull and Taxi Driver, absolute classics are forgotten to be by him it seems. Anyway, watch Casino, it slaps really really hard.
They're both fantastic, don't get me wrong there. If someone preferred goodfellas I wouldn't hold it against them and really they are two different movies with different goals at the end of the day. I like Casino more but I've rewarched Goodfellas more often.

Goodfellas is just Casino done tight. Both good.
