I believe the wife got to see the plane in the casino scene being filmed.

By far Vegas Vacation. I watch it every Sunday night waiting for the next time I get to go to Vegas.

Paul Blart: Mall cop 2..........

Hands down one of the worst movies ever. However, 90% is shot in The Wynn

Ya, in Harvey's, which has a crazy history. Some guys tried to "kidnap" the hotel for ransom by putting a big-ass bomb in it and demanding money. The cops set off the bomb while trying to disarm it and blew up half the hotel.

Too crazy and too true to make a movie about.

1. Fear & Loathing
2. The Hangover (don't hate..)
3. Ocean's 11 (original, great nostalgia)
4. Showgirls (I love Paul Verhoeven movies!)

There's video online of the hotel assploding. It is a pretty unbelievable story, I recommend that people look it up. I am too lazy to go find it right now. Guy who built and placed the bomb was a crazy genius.

Skwid is actually in showgirlz. A bunch of it was filmed in southlake tahoe and I was living in tahoe city at the time. Had a pal who was a PA for the flick and got me a gig as an xtra. Paid about 150/day iirc. Had to wear suit and tie and its obv me in the scene.

so I am proud to say that i am in the worst movie ever made

Hey! Until I saw that movie I had no idea what Vegas strip clubs were like. It started me down the degen path of blowing thousands over the years on Vegas trips.

Generally I rely on Vegas Vacation, Casino, and Leaving Las Vegas to get me by, but I have been turning to another source to satiate my need for Vegas lately.

Please forgive me as it is not a film, but The Trooper's Vlog is top notch for getting that Vegas feel without being there.
