I was thinking the other day that one way to ease my withdrawal symptoms would be to watch some movies based in or heavily featuring Vegas, so let's have your suggestions please!

Do award winning/honorable mention screenplays count?

If I can get my hands on it and watch it, then it "counts" I guess...

But seriously. My two favorites are Casino and Diamonds Are Forever. In that order.

Seen Casino and also love it. Diamonds Are Forever is not a Bond film I've seen, so might check it out, thanks.

Really liked Casino. Didn't think 21 was too bad either. Owning Mahowny also pretty good.

Yup, I thought 21 was decent too. Never heard of Owning Mahowny before, but the synopsis sounds interesting, so will add it to my viewing list.

Have been aware of this movie, but never seen it - added to the list also.

IMDB doesn't seem to think much of Vegas Vacation, but will consider giving it a try anyway, comedies never seem to get good reviews. Know I've seen at least one of the Oceans flicks, but can't remember which one(s), so might revisit, thanks.

You spelled "favorite" wrong :}

Vegas Vacation, "changing $500"!!!

Owning Mahoney was pretty good too.

Casino

Leaving Las Vegas was kind of depressing but still on my list.

Depends what flavour of the English language you want to use and the colour of your passport I guess. You just need to realize that you need to have a sense of humour and some honour about it, don't get mad and organize a theatre of rumours about your neighbours from across the pond just to try and get the world to recognize you as superior. You're not the centre of all things you know, but practice makes perfect.

Ok, I've probably laboured the point and turned this from a dialogue into a monologue, but you get the idea.

a 2+2er posted that he had written a screen play "Knights of Las Vegas" which received an honorable mention and was looking for help to produce the same.

Haha, I see what you meant now. Well, cos I'm a donk obv, so couldn't even execute a simple joke correctly and so got em the wrong way round. I'll not bother trying to be funny next time.

Indecent Proposal with Redford, Demi and Woody. This might be one you could watch with your wife/gf, too.

I am glad we all realise our differences now.
