Reese Hoffman was the owner of the Roaring 20's Casino in Las Vegas. He and his secretary Elena Goshkin were friends of Kenny Sinclair and also worked with them on the terrorist plot to take control of Vegas. He was a secondary antagonist in Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas.

Viva Las Vegas[]

As he was a friend of Kenny Sinclair, he and Goshkin attended the party being thrown in honor of Kenny's new job as the warden of Mega Grande Prison. At the party, he was introduced to Kenny's old friend John McClane. They discussed Klaus Von Haug, a terrorist and inmate of Mega Grande. During the party, Von Haug escaped and released the other inmates.

After McClane dispatched most of the criminals, he learned that Hoffman, Goshkin and Sinclair were all in on the plot, hoping to take over all of Vegas. He confronted Hoffman in his office at his casino building and after a tense encounter, McClane fatally shot his foe.
