Vegas' Craziest Movie Moments

With The Hangover hitting theaters today, New York magazine looks at the high points of the insane genre the “Las Vegas movie” has become.

• Swingers: The blackjack scene is probably the best anti-Vegas-glamour-scene ever.
• The Amazing Colossal Man: This B-movie features the second-best scene in which Vegas is destroyed ...
• Con Air: …and this one, the best. 

• Casino: The Joe Pesci character puts a guy’s head in a vise—and squeezes.
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Johnny Depp’s character trips so badly, he sees his fellow bar patrons as dinosaurs. “I was right in the middle of a f---ing reptile zoo. And someone was giving booze to these goddamned things.”
• Showgirls: The orgasm scene that ends the movie and, effectively, Elizabeth Berkley’s movie career, must be seen to be believed.
