What great films have been set in Vegas?

Vegas has actually been the set for many films and celebrities over the years and here are just a few of them:

Diamonds are Forever, the Bond favourite

This is the seventh film in the series and stars Sean Connery once again as James Bond. This time Bong impersonates a diamond smuggler to gain access into a smuggling ring and soon discovers that one of his old nemesis Blofield is really behind the entire thing. Surprise surpise he wanted to hold the world to ransom using a giant satellite.

Vegas vacation

This is the fourth movie in the vacation series and Chevy Chase once again steps in as the comical Clark W in an adventure for the whole family. Griswold. This time the family head off to Las Vegas and although Ellen has doubts because Vegas is not really known for its family fun days, they go off anyways. The same is to be expected as the other films with something bad happening and then fixing itself in the end, all in all though a good film.

Casino

This stars frequent mob actors Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. De Niro plays Sam Rothstein who is called in by the mob to oversee the operations in a Casino. Pesci comes in as the psychopath sent in to make sure everything that De Niro is doing is done properly. This film is based loosely on the non-fiction of the same title.

If you havent seen any of these films then they are certainly worth looking at. The last film on the list is the only film not really suitable for a young audience.

Then again if you fancy visiting Las Vegas then why not go on one of those holidays to Vegas or even perhaps one of those USA tours. American holidays can be expensive but they are most certainly worth the money.
