In Ocean's Eleven (2001), how many Las Vegas casinos does Danny Ocean plan to rob at once?

The story behind the answer

In Ocean's Eleven (2001), Danny Ocean plans to rob three Las Vegas casinos at once. The targets are the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand, which are all owned by casino magnate Terry Benedict.

Danny assembles a team of specialists for the ambitious operation after being released from prison. Each member contributes a particular skill, including surveillance, electronics, explosives, pickpocketing, and casino knowledge. The plan depends on exploiting the casinos' shared security and money-storage arrangements.

The number is sometimes confused with the film's title. “Eleven” refers to the number of people in Danny's crew, not the number of casinos targeted. The three casinos are treated as one linked objective because their casino revenues are collected and stored in the Bellagio vault.

The 2001 film is a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack movie Ocean's 11, but it changes the setting, tone, characters, and mechanics of the robbery. Steven Soderbergh directed the remake, which stars George Clooney as Danny Ocean.
