These iconic movie moments make your bachelor weekend in Sin City seem tamer than a game of bridge.
Casino Heist at the Bellagio, <em>Ocean's 11</em>- While most of us stop at the Bellagio's fountain lamenting the fact we'd left the contents of our wallet in some strippers thong, the quirky crooks in Ocean's 11 merely gazed at the aquatic splendor´s synchronized precision with a smile, knowing that they'd just pulled off the most complex heist in casino history.
Going Big and Losing It All at the Stardust, <i>Swingers</i>- Ever lose 200 dollars in one hand of blackjack? Well, chances are you didn't lose it as quickly as Mikey, who doubled down on 11 to look like a big dog in the opening scene of the seminal ode to bachelorhood. Good thing the guy made up for the loss by later blowing his chances with a cocktail waitress. And you called the genital rash you picked up at The Mirage's pool bad luck.
Hand Torture in the Backroom at the Rivera (a.k.a The Tangiers), <i>Casino</i>- Yay, counting cards is fun! Just look at Rain Man do it! Just don't be caught doing it on Ace Rothstein´s watch. In an effort to clean up his casino, Vegas' new kingpin took cheaters out back at the Tangiers and had his thugs split open their dishonest hands.
Plane crash at The Hard Rock, <em>Con Air</em>- If you thought you made a grand entrance to The Hard Rock flashing wads of cash and chatting up some eyelash battin' gal who happened to be a hooker, then you haven't seen the climactic conclusion of Con Air. Trailed by a hostile fleet of apache helicopters, Nicholas Cage and his crew o' criminals land one dilapidated hunk of an aircraft on the Vegas strip, severing The Hard Rock's neon Fender in the process.
Shootout in the Rivera, <i>3000 Miles to Graceland</i>- Donning an Elvis costume might seem like an easy way to blend into Vegas' nonstop carnival, but if you've just held up the Riviera, the king´s signature chops, shades and sequined suit make you a pretty easy police target. Good thing Costner and Co. added an arsenal of M-16s and shotguns to their attire.
