Many movies have used the exterior of this 1971 hotel at the end of famed Fremont Street. The footage at the end is of the Dunes being imploded in real life in 1993. Other filming locations included the Riviera, which was imploded in 2016, and the Peppermill Fireside Lounge, which you can still visit to enjoy the classic Vegas vibe. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film stars Robert De Niro as famed Mafia casino boss Sam “Ace” Rothstein, with Sharon Stone as his hustling wife Ginger and Joe Pesci as his boyhood/shakedown friend Nicky Santoro. The location for the Tangiers was another defunct casino, the Landmark Hotel. This film is said to be loosely based on the long-gone Stardust Hotel & Casino at the end of the Mafia-run era of Las Vegas at a fictional casino called Tangiers.

Filming locations for this one were all over the strip, but most notably the Mirage Hotel & Casino, which was just recently sold to the Hard Rock brand. As usual, cousin Eddie is the star of this one with his cheesy one-liners as he takes Clark to what is this gambler’s wish: cheap kitschy casino games and buffets in effort of trying to win his family’s money back.

Ellen becomes the sparkle of the one and only Wayne Newton’s eye as he tries to woo her, Rusty manages to score a fake ID and becomes a high roller known as Nick Pappagiorgio, meanwhile Audrey is getting into high jinks with cousin Vicki. In leg three of the famous Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) family adventures, they head to Vegas, where Clark manages to spend the family’s entire bankroll and cause trouble at Hoover Dam. Those filming locations were at more current casinos, such as Bellagio. Ocean’s Eleven was of course redone with a whole new cast of thieves (George Clooney, Brad Pitt) in 2001, which also had a few spinoffs. But did you know that where the Wynn hotel sits now on the Las Vegas Strip, there is a steakhouse named after the one and only Frank Sinatra, a star of Ocean’s Eleven and a Rat Pack member, named Sinatra? The latter two are the only ones that still stand. Filming locations of the original included now-long-gone places like the Riviera Hotel and Casino, Sands Hotel and Casino, Desert Inn, Sahara Hotel and Casino, and the Flamingo Hotel and Casino.

First done by the Rat Pack in 1960, this was the quintessential casino heist movie.
