Nothing beats the excitement of walking into the bright lights, high energy, and absolute luxury of a high end casino. But when you are too far from your favorite locale, or you just don’t have the time for a gambling day trip, then you can relax in front of your widescreen HD and take in the sites and sound of the make-believe masters of casino fantasy.
Oceans 11
The 2001 version of Ocean’s 11 brought glamour and charisma to the strip. With the ingenious and dashing characters of Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan, Las Vegas never looked so deceptively charming. To add some high end luxury to an already perfect picture, the magnificent and luxurious surroundings of The Bellagio Hotel provides the perfect backdrop for a perfect picture. And since the film was shot on location, the atrium, restaurants, shops, and art museum can all be found on site.
Maverick
In 1994 the film Maverick re-appeared on the movie scene and brought the sheer intelligence, cunning, and patience behind a true gambler back to the forefront.. Maverick made gambling exciting again, as Maverick and his father used a poker tournament to right the wrongs in the gambling community. And in this movie gambling really was the great equalizer. Man or woman, rich or poor, everyone had the opportunity to win or lose.
Vegas Vacation
Vegas Vacation took everything iconic about Las Vegas and flipped it into something hilarious. Of course there was the famous and infamous Wayne Newton to remind us of why Vegas is just so Vegas. Then there was the pulsing magic of Las Vegas clubs. The women, the music, the mixed drinks make you want to party like a Vegas rock star. And of course, there is the absolute joy of hitting it big in Vegas. From cars to cash, Vegas Vacation reminds us of why we take our chance in the world’s largest playground.
