	Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Criterion Collection) (1998)
Terry Gilliam's brilliantly weird trip through the desert is not to be missed.
	Swingers (1996)
Funny and often gut wrenching comedy, and still the best movie these folks have made.
	Vegas Vacation (1997)
The Vacation movies are always good for a laugh, and Randy Quaid is particularly weird in this one.
	Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Why movies about self-destruction seem to be so award-worthy, I'll never know. There are some terrifying scenes with Elizabeth Shue though.
	Honeymoon in Vegas (1992)
There are some genuinely funny moments in here somewhere, but you have to get past a louse of a lead character.
	Ocean's Eleven (1960)			Not Rated
Rat pack movies leave me in the cold.
	Ocean's Eleven (2001)
It's stylish and even and fairly enjoyable once, but it didn't need a sequel.
	The Cooler (2003)
The romance is so unbelievable that it just never seems to make sense, but Alec Baldwin is great.
	Las Vegas Lady (1976)
I haven't seen this one, but the poster just SCREAMS 70's action adventure.
	3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)
I haven't seen this and it looks bad, but it is set in Vegas.
	Casino (1995)
More crime and gangsters and Casino scandals.
	Viva Las Vegas (1964)			Not Rated
It's got the King doing lots and lots of cheesy songs, what could be more indicative of the Strip?
	Bugsy (1991)
I haven't seen this one, but it's a gangster casino picture, so I can imagine it pretty well.
	Showgirls (1995)
Probably the worst major studio, big budget movie ever made. Trashy doesn't begin to describe it, but it can be fun to watch at parties.
	Very Bad Things (1998)
This is a mean-spirited black comedy that doesn't do much for the careers of those involved.
	The Center of the World (2001)
When movies feature characters that you can't sympathize with, it's hard to get too invested in them.
	Mars Attacks! (1996)
When Martians attack, they head straight for Las Vegas. Tom Jones vs. the Martians, what could be better?
