OK, need some help solving mysteries related to the Vegas scenes in GO. Keep in mind the movie came out in 1999:

1. Which scenes were filmed at the Frontier?

2. Where was the valet scene (Taye Diggs steals the Ferrari) filmed? If you need a visual reminder of that one, it's at 1:13 in the trailer:

3. What casino is that in the shot immediately after they drive off in the sports car? Is it in the same location as the valet area that immediately precedes it?

Thanks LVL

I always thought that valet scene was at the front of the Stratosphere, but I've never researched it. Could that be the Peppermill Lounge/Restaurant in the background when they take off in the car?
The screen-out scene with the sports car looks to be from The Riviera.
Those are my guesses.

No, its not the Peppermill. It could be one of those little casinos north of the Strat on LVB?

Ok, more clues- the low-slung casino you see as they pull out is the now-defunct Key Largo. Still can't identify the valet area, which I'm getting increasingly sure was filmed at a different location. Could it be the Continental? I like the Stratosphere guess, or it kind of looks downtown.

And I know that the valet uniforms could just be wardrobe, but they are yellow/gold (same color as Taye Diggs jacket, hence the comedy...) That might be a clue.
