Paradise

The 2009 comedy “The Hangover” was filmed in Nevada and Southern California. Early in the film, Alan Garner, played by Zach Galifianakis, is seen getting fitted for a tuxedo with Doug, played by Justin Bartha, at this residence in Pasadena, California.

LOCATION: 415 S Grand Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105

Stu, played by Ed Helms, lives at this home, located in West Hollywood.

LOCATION: 1325 N Ogden Dr, West Hollywood, CA 90046

The gas station where Alan tells the man not to look at his car was formerly located at 1 Goodsprings Rd, Jean, NV 89019, but has since been completely remodeled.

The characters stay at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

LOCATION: 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Phil, played by Bradley Cooper, waits for valet with Stu and Alan in this area.

The guys check into the hotel at this area.

Later they are seen walking across the lobby in this area.

The wedding chapel building was not an actual wedding chapel. The production built a facade over the building to make it appear like a wedding chapel.

LOCATION: 1236 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89104

The hotel where Jade, played by Heather Graham, stays was formerly located at 3330 W Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89103, but has since been demolished.

Mr. Chow, played by Ken Jeong, emerges from the trunk nude in this area just outside of the Vegas strip.

LOCATION: Near E Mandalay Bay Rd / Haven St, Paradise, NV 89119 (GPS coordinates: 36°05’38.0″N, 115°10’07.6″W)

The guys get into a car accident next to this liquor store.

The scenes at Mike Tyson’s house were filmed at 22634 La Quilla Dr, Chatsworth, CA 91311.

Paul Verhoeven’s infamous 1995 film “Showgirls” was of course filmed primarily in Las Vegas, Nevada. The city is constantly changing and many of the skylines and buildings are quite different than they appeared back in the 1990s. Here we’ve highlighted a few spots still bearing some resemblance.

The topless club where Nomi, played by Elizabeth Berkley, first starts dancing is Cheetahs, a real club which still remains in business.

LOCATION: 2112 Western Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89102

After getting into an argument with James, played by Glenn Plummer, Nomi sits on a bench in front of the Luxor Hotel & Casino.

LOCATION: 3900 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119

Near the end of the film, Nomi is hitchhiking along the I-15 freeway in the southbound lane with the Luxor and Excalibur seen in the distance. It’s difficult to replicate this location. Besides of course being on a busy freeway, the skyline has changed a lot, with Mandalay Bay Rd now an overpass above the freeway, partially blocking the skyline. This is actually a view from Dean Martin Dr, which runs parallel with the freeway. A stadium is currently being constructed in this area, so it will inevitably change even more in the time to come.

LOCATION: I-15, Las Vegas, NV 89118 (this photo is taken from Dean Martin Dr, next to the southbound lane of the freeway, near Connector Rd)

In front of the Vista Theater, you’d find these hand prints and signatures from Rena Riffel, Lin Tucci and Patrick Bristow.

LOCATION: Vista Theater, 4473 Sunset Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027
