Filmed In Las Vegas

Whether it is fascination with Las Vegas, or its uniqueness among cities, or its vices or all of the above, Las Vegas has been a favorite location for many television and motion picture stories. Here are some of the most popular Hollywood productions shot in Las Vegas.

Television Series: CSI

The first in the wildly popular CSI TV series franchise.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (also known as CSI: Las Vegas) is an American crime drama television series, which premiered on CBS on October 6, 2000. The show was created by Anthony E. Zuiker and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It is filmed primarily at Universal Studios in Universal City, California.

The series follows Las Vegas criminologists as they use physical evidence to solve grisly murders in this unusually graphic (and hugely popular) drama, which has inspired a host of other cop-show 'procedurals.' An immediate ratings smash for CBS, the series mixes deduction, gritty subject matter and popular characters. The network quickly capitalized on its megahit with spin-offs CSI: Miami and CSI: NY.

The tenth season of CSI premiered on September 24, 2009 at 9 pm EST.

Movies: Ocean's Eleven and Ocean's Thirteen

It started with the remake of the original Ocean's Eleven and spawned two new sequals. The first move, Ocean's Eleven, and the third, Ocean's Thirteen, take place in Las Vegas.

Ocean's Eleven is a 2001 remake of the 1960 Rat Pack caper film of the same name. The 2001 film was directed by Steven Soderbergh and features an ensemble cast. The film was a success at the box office and with critics. Soderbergh directed two sequels, Ocean's Twelve in 2004 and Ocean's Thirteen in 2007. George Clooney stated in November 2007 that there will not be any additional sequels.
