The
briefing
Danny Ocean walks out of a New Jersey prison and, within a day, is already pitching. The job: the vault under the Bellagio, which also holds the cash of two more casinos on the Strip.
The night: a big boxing event, when the money on hand peaks. The owner of all three casinos is Terry Benedict, who is also seeing Danny’s ex-wife.
To pull it off, Danny needs a backer with a grudge, a right hand who can recruit, and nine specialists who have never worked together.

The
bill
Terry Benedict has found every one of them. His terms are simple: the money back, with interest, in two weeks.
Every job in America is too hot, so the crew takes the problem to Europe, starting in Amsterdam, where Rusty has a past of his own.
A tip points them to a guarded document. When they finally reach it, someone has already been and gone.

The
briefing
Reuben Tishkoff goes into business with Willy Bank to build a hotel on the Strip. Bank forces him out of his own deal, and Reuben ends up in hospital.
Danny offers Bank one chance to make it right. Bank declines and opens The Bank on schedule.
So the crew sets two goals for opening night: cost the hotel its Five Diamond Award, and make every table in the house pay out.

Opening night, one floor, six ways to lose. Each game on the floor was quietly fixed before the doors opened.
The dice
Loaded at the source: a factory in Mexico, where the crew has two men on the line.
RiggedThe slots
Every machine set to pay on the same signal. One jackpot is luck; a floor of them is a message.
RiggedThe cards
The shuffle stops being random. The house edge goes the other way for one night.
RiggedThe Greco
An AI security system that reads every player on the floor. It has to be blinded at exactly the right moment.
BlindedThe Brody
The drill that dug the Channel Tunnel, borrowed to fake an earthquake under the Strip.

The Five Diamond reviewer checks in incognito. His stay is arranged to go badly in every way.
