Casino by far.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

Fear and loathing in Lv

Ocean's Eleven or Fear and Loathing - I can't decide.

Goodfellas II gets my vote.

Ocean's Eleven (remake or original) and Fear and Loathing are right below it.

Fools Rush In is right behind those two.

I'm guessing Godfather 2 wouldn't be counted as a Vegas movie, would it. Otherwise...er I guess Ocean's Eleven.

Gotta go with Leaving Las Vegas, but One From the Heart is a close second.

Casino with Leaving Las Vegas a close 2nd.

Oceans 11

If this one was on the list I would have a hard time choosing between it and Fear and Loathing.

Go

Ocean's Eleven

I'd have to agree with Oceans Eleven

Fear and Loathing.

Casino

Casino

fear and loathing, no contest

Casino is by far one of the most realistic movies made about Vegas. I lived in Vegas while a lot of that was going on. The names and locations were changed but it was essentially based on fact. For instance: Rosenthal’s (not Rothstein) wife never died of an O.D., he lives here in San Diego and an acquaintance of mine does security work for him, and his main job is making sure the wife doesn’t loot the mansion while he is out of town. The casino’s name was the Stardust, not the Tangiers… etc.

All in all one of the best movies about the “real” Vegas.

Ocean's Eleven

I'll go with the Soderbergh remake of Ocean's 11.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Casino, definitely #1. The remake of Ocean's 11 was very good for the type of film it was.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas got my vote.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas got my vote.

"You only exist out here because of ME, that's the only reason!" Casino hands down.

Ocean's 11

Ocean's 11 (original) followed by Ocean's Eleven (2001) followed by Casino (all three being VERY different from each other.

Come on, OP, you put 3000 Miles to Graceland as a choice but not Ocean's Eleven? I'm surprised you didn't put Pay it Forward on there. -rolleyes-

No soup for you!

Oceans Eleven (2001)

Casino is the best from the choices, but my personal favorite is Corvette Summer.

Does Swingers Count?

VEGAS BABY!!! VEGAASASS!!!

If not, probably Oceans 11 (2001)

Casino gets my vote

I'm shocked!

Casino leading in votes in a poll with Fear and Loathing and Leaving Las Vegas also as a option. Hell, I'd vote for Pay It Foward before I would Casino.

BTW- Hard choice between F&L and LLV, I vote for Leaving Las Vegas.

Fear and Loathing followed by Ocean's 11 and Casino

Lost in America by far

I enjoyed The Cooler, Leaving Las Vegas, Ocean's Eleven (2001), Casino, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I would have to say Casino was my favorite because I love the genre that exists outsite of the Las Vegas background.

I voted Vegas Vacation, just makes me laugh. Casino was a close second. I forgot about Oceans's 11 and I also thought of Swingers.

I think Casino is a much better movie then fear and loathing,heck, fear and loathing would not even make my top 5 Vegas movies list,I remember when fear and loathing came out,it was a huge bomb,nobody liked it,reviewers gave it terrible reviews,but since criterion put out a dvd of it i guess it becomes a classic now lol

Ocean's 11 original and remake both top my list. :)
