I haven't watched this movie yet, so I can't say it's a favorite, but while I was staying at Caesar's in June 2013 for the WSOP I hung out a few days with some cast/crew from "Think Like A Man Too."

Primarily, but I'd argue it has one of the more Vegas feels. The Peppermill Reno has old Vegas tacky/awesome vibe. Also initial casino scene I believe is supposed to be Vegas.

Hard 8 is probably my favorite.

Gots ta disagree wit da squid, this is definitely the worst movie ever made.

Oceans 11 (1960) is, to me, the Las Vegas movie.

There's a Mario (author of The Godfather) Puzo book called The Last Don which I love and have read about 10 times, and is set largely in Vegas. It was never a movie but was made into a 3 part mini series in the 90's with Danny Aiello, Joe Mantegna, Darryl Hannah and Kirstie Alley. I've never seen it (not easily available in the UK where I live) and gets so so IMDB reviews.

Has anyone on here seen it? Worth me tracking it down? TIA

I would be surprised if much of this was really filmed in Vegas considering that it's a period piece, but you have me wondering.

Even Godfather & Godfather II, despite being nearly flawless films, used stock footage circa 1950 for the Las Vegas scenes, with the interiors filmed at a studio. Despite Godfather's big budget, they even used the same stock footage twice – same clips in each of the two films. Screen shots:



by the way, in the first image here: the Thunderbird is where the unfinished Fontainbleau construction site is today, and the neon sign for El Rancho (the very first neon on the strip) is the empty lot between Fontainbleau and SLS Hotel. The second photo, The Desert Inn, is just about where the Wynn's parking garage is now.

Not a movie but this is premiering soon.

Very Bad Things


Excellent flic

I worked on the worst movie ever, which was Battlefield Earth.

Showgirls was NOT the worst movie ever, as it has the redeeming quality of showing Elizabeth Berkley's bush. Often.

That El Rancho Vegas sign reminded me of one of my favorite movies which is tangentially related to Las Vegas: The Joker is Wild. It is a biography of singer/comedian Joe E. Lewis, the headliner on that sign, and stars Frank Sinatra (another Vegas icon) in the title role. For those too young to remember or who are unfamiliar with early Vegas history, Joe E Lewis was an icon in Las Vegas on the 1950s. In fact, I believe that there still may be a street named after him on the east side of town.

The entire movie was shot on a set in Hollywood, and a good portion of it is about his early life performing in Chicago & NYC, but I think it still qualifies as a Vegas movie considering his status here.

For those of you who might be interested, the entire movie is available for viewing on YouTube at no charge:

Diamonds Are Forever, great chase scene past the Plaza construction site:
