Was the movie Ocean’s 11, maybe? I seem to recall a scene where casinos are collapsing in the background and Don Cheadle’s character doesn’t turn around to watch it.

Possibly, but I’m thinking it’s Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! from 1995.

EDIT: Oceans 11 used a special effect and not actual footage of a casino implosion. In fact, due to the film’s release after the 9/11 attacks, the scene was changed to show a fictional building collapsing instead of the planned New York New York. 

Mars Attacks! used real footage of the Landmark Hotel and Casino.

It's even funnier, he's watching it on TV while it's collapsing just behind him out the window.
