Bugsy
Most of the Las Vegas scenes of the Flamingo construction were filmed near Palm Desert and La Quinta, California, where a full-sized replica of the Flamingo was built.,When "selling" the concept of Las Vegas to the other mobsters, Bugsy states that "when Hoover Dam opens up", there will be power for air conditioning. The scene takes place in the mid 1940's and Hoover Dam had already been producing power since the late 1930's. In addition, Las Vegas never got any power from Hoover Dam until 2017.,"Bugsy" Siegel: Twenty dwarves took turns doing handstands on the carpet.

By arrangement with CEMA Special Markets,A big elegant movie, beautiful in every sense of the word, a fascinating story of the man who created Las Vegas and Warren Beatty is perfect in this movie. If you're not a huge fan of his, as I am not, you'll still appreciate the great talents of this star who is not necessarily known for his acting prowess. He is a joy to watch with the gorgeous Annette Bening Beatty. They have a great chemistry and all the actors involved were fantastic, there were many oscar nominations for all aspects of this film, acting, costumes, best film, best director, but when I saw that that Elliott Gould was not nominated for his wonderfully moving performance as Harry Greenberg, I was very surprised. Maybe it was just too small of a role. But it's a movie to be savoured and worth seeing on DVD, if anything just to appreciate the stunning photography.,
