Something similar happens in almost every movie or TV show when somebody is driving down Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip). The order in which the casinos are shown makes absolutely no sense.
You'll see the Riviera on a car's left (north Strip driving south) immediately followed by the Bellagio also on your left (mid-Strip driving north). Then, it'll be Caesars Palace on your right (mid-Strip driving south) followed by the MGM Grand (south Strip) or some other casino chosen simply because it looks good.
These are details directors don't seem to care about because only locals are likely to recognize the inconsistencies.
