Movies With Las Vegas
Desert landscape, bright lights, and high energy. These are just a few things that appeal to filmmakers when they consider adding Las Vegas to their storyline.
Over the years Las Vegas has had movies filmed with Las Vegas as the setting as part of the storyline or just used as a filming location.
Below are the movies to date that were set in Las Vegas and the year each movie was released, starting back in 1952!
I have divided the movies by decade, starting with the 1950’s.
