LVA Question of the Day - 12 JUL 2010

Q: Some time ago, you mentioned Las Vegas movies, and I came
upon a movie featuring a very young Brad Pitt, Gabriel Byrne
and Kim Bassinger. The movie is called Cool World, and It's
about a world of "doodles" or cartoons, and it takes place
partly in that world and part in Vegas. There are some
interesting scenes of a Nevada prison, the "Union Plaza"
inside and out owned by "Vegas Vinnie", some air shots of
the Strip and some shots of Fremont Street before Fremont
Street Experience. The movie isn´t all that good but the
shots of Vegas are good. Do you recall that movie?

I love that movie. The scenes at the Plaza feature wonderfully tacky patrons. When I first saw the movie I thought they were parodies - then I actually visited the Plaza.
