As he put it, rather than run up costs by filming and subsequently destroying a suite at Caesars, they could create the room in the studio, and then destroy it without actually damaging the hotel. This was a fun tidbit from my tour guide from a studio tour I took a few weeks ago (more on this to come!), and obviously makes sense. However, I learned that none of the hotel room scenes were actually filmed at Caesars Palace rather, the whole penthouse was recreated at Warner Brother’s Burbank studios.
Almost entirely set in Vegas, The Hangover cast and crew spent 15 days shooting on location in Nevada. Yes, it’s very sad, I know.īut that all changed when I had the chance to go to Vegas for work, with some time for play built in! To my surprise, there’s no actual movie tour or anything that shows the sights in Las Vegas I guess they expect you to get your gamble on and not worry about all the movies that have been shot or set in there, but not this girl! So I decided to conduct my own pseudo-movie tour, which would include visiting some of the hotels made femous (to me, at least) by some of my favorite Vegas-based movies!įirst up: The Hangover, of course. True story: up until a few weeks ago, I had made it through 25+ years of life without a single visit to our nation’s adult playground, Sin City.
