He doesn't respond to either question and an awkward silence ensues. The two mobsters appear surprised, 'He left?', 'Carmine's gone?' Nicky at this point is silent. He says (paraphrasing), oh, Carmine was here before, but he left the casino holding a suitcase. Then, one of the mobsters, presumably anticipating that Nicky was about to ask them what they're doing in the Tangiers, offers unsolicited, 'We're waitin' on Carmine.' The other mobster agrees, 'Yeah we're looking for Carmine.' Nicky seems to know exactly who they're talking about. Nicky says 'I'm over here now', points at Ace and says 'With him.' The two mobsters seem to be processing this, look over at Ace and then back at Nicky and they both nod. One of the mobsters asks Nicky what he's doing in the Tangiers. They seem to know each other, each shaking the other's hand in a friendly fashion. Nicky walks up to them as they are at the cash cage and greets them. His narration indicates they were there to rob the place of $200k and it was up to him to warn them off. In Casino (1995), there is a great scene where Nicky encounters two mobsters from another crew in the Tangiers casino.
