The Best of Las Vegas This site, justifiably, rates the Howards' Las Vegas sojourn at the top of their list of "Best Movie Scenes." (Oh, and The Desert Inn is rated as one of the "Best Overall Hotels"--because it has heart, presumably.)
Las Vegas Movie List It figures, right?

Las Vegas Review-Journal (Nov. 30, 1997): Nevada movie milestones Evidently, this newspaper thought a movie which showed a family blowing their life savings in Vegas was good P.R.
Hoover Dam inside and out This site sports current Hoover Dam temperatures and camera viewpoints and also lists movies that have been filmed there (including you-know-what).

Outside Online, June 1998 The diary of a real-life variation on Lost in America's road trip.
