Real Casino Movies That You Can Visit

A great casino movie scene can often make you want to hit Vegas and try your hand at quick game of Blackjack or poker, spin the roulette wheel or enjoy a few rounds on slots online. Whether you fancy yourself a James Bond or you’re more similar to Zach Galifianakis, many casino movies are actually filmed in real-life casinos.

Here are Five Real Casinos from movies that you can visit:

1.- Bellagio (Ocean’s Eleven)

The iconic fountain-fronted Bellagio is in South Las Vegas Boulevard and can be seen most famously in the 2011 remake of classic Ocean’s Eleven. Walk in the footsteps of Brad Pitt and George Clooney – one visit to this casino and you’ll quickly understand why it is among the most famous in the world: for starters, the external architecture and enormous lake are enough to make you feel like you’ve entered a movie scene; inside, you’ll find an incredible casino, plus lots of other entertainment to be had, including an art gallery and a botanical garden to explore.

2.- Caesar’s Palace (The Hangover)

Another one of those casino movies that we all know and love is The Hangover; the most referenced casino scene involving Zach Galifianakis counting cards is set in Caesar’s Palace, another Vegas destination for those who love gambling and the movies. Modelled on a fantasy Ancient Greek temple, this legendary casino boasts hundreds of table games including poker, Blackjack, craps, and Baccarat, as well as dozens of glittering rows of slot games. Grab a cool drink in the cocktail garden, lounge by the pool or enjoy a show at the on-site venue The Colosseum.

3.- The Venetian (Rat Race)

Probably the most architecturally stunning casino on this list, The Venetian is another Vegas establishment that you’ll likely recognise from casino movies. The hilarious romp that is Rat Race features The Venetian as the casino owned by nutty tycoon Donald Sinclair. The Venetian is a real-life luxury casino resort with a spectacular casino, high-end restaurants, bars, and an ever-changing art display in the Palazzo.

4.- Planet Hollywood (What Happens in Vegas)

This 2008 rom com is a guilty pleasure for many: Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher are two singles who find themselves on a wild and debauched trip to Vegas. Planet Hollywood features quite heavily in the film, and is available for you visit today, packed with over 1,000 slot machines, 11 restaurants, and a gigantic shopping centre.

5.- Red Rock Casino (21)

Finally, one of our favourite casino film, 21 is a heist film all about the iconic game Blackjack and is set in Red Rock Casino near Red Rock, Las Vegas. Experience the thrill of the casino with the ruggedness of Nevada’s wilderness close by – enjoy a break from the tables with a horse ride or dip in one of the National Park pools, or relax and unwind at the on-site Red Rock spa.

Casino movies are great ads for real-life casinos, so whether you’re a keen gambler or you’re simply a cinema buff, you’ll undoubtedly find something appealing about each of these Vegas destinations.
