Filmed in Las Vegas: America’s Playground on the Silver Screen

An exhibition at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas on how the city has been filmed and shown on screen, presented under the title Filmed in Las Vegas: America's Playground on the Silver Screen.

Filmed in Las Vegas: America's Playground on the Silver Screen examines the city as a setting for motion pictures, tracing how Las Vegas has appeared in film and what that screen image has shown of it. The subject is cinema itself, with the city's streets, casinos and landmarks viewed as backdrops for stories told on screen.

The Mob Museum is a museum in downtown Las Vegas devoted to the history of organized crime and its place in the city and the nation. Its setting gives the exhibition a local frame, connecting the screen portrayal of Las Vegas to the city's own history.

The exhibition suits visitors interested in film history and in Las Vegas as a subject in popular culture. It is open during its run, so visitors can come at any time while it is on display.
