That's right, Tony. No real comparison between Casino and Goodfellas. Don't look for the mordant humor and bang-bang action of Goodfellas. Instead, in Casino you get a long, thoughtful, detailed view of the Mafia and Vegas. You also get DeNiro's best performance since Goodfellas and a memorable performance by Sharon Stone. Plus, Scorsese's casting genius is evident with his use of Don Rickles, Tommy Smothers, and the Sultan of Smarm, James Woods. Excellent film!
