<< I am planning a trip to vegas this sring, and want some good movies to
 watch that are filmed there or are about the city itself, any good
 suggestions? >>

I was born and raised here in Vegas (42 years at this point) and not am aware
of any that have anything to do with Las Vegas as really it is (including
Casino)....though National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation has authentic scenery and
Chevy Chase's luck at gambling in that same film is fairly realistic.

Sorry....
Mike
