what movies take place vegas
Movie Hotels in Las Vegas. The flashing lights, jiggling tassels, rolling dice, and 24-hour wedding chapels of Sin City have driven the plotlines of countless movies, and a notable hotel-casino is always somewhere in the background. Of course, some film crews build their own casinos and hotel rooms on Hollywood soundstages.
Casino was filmed entirely in the Las Vegas Valley. The casino and office scenes were filmed in the famed Riviera Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip and the driving scene in the beginning of the movie was filmed on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas, which is no longer open to automobile traffic.
