5 Iconic Movies Filmed in Las Vegas

3. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

For a more gritty take on Sin City, the 1998 Johnny Depp classic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a definite must-watch. Renowned for their exhausting 56-day shoot that saw the production team furiously filming in the casinos between the hours of two and six in the morning. Their efforts, however, paid off and audiences were rewarded with a trippy film that kept them on the edges of their seats.

While the film takes place in the now-defunct Stardust Resort and Casino, it remains a classic that should be watched at least.
