What do ‘Diamonds Are Forever’, ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ and ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’ all have in common? That last title is a bit of a giveaway, because the answer is that these films were all set in Las Vegas. The city has been something of a hotspot for various movies and television programmes to be set over the years. This is probably why there are several attractions in the city that are firmly focused on this. The most recent and ongoing success story featuring Las Vegas is ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’. It started way back in 2000, and since then it has built up a dedicated audience – many of whom have no doubt visited the attraction known as ‘CSI – The Experience’. Situated in the aptly named Studio Walk, this experience allows you to take part in a crime scene investigation of your choosing. Just as it happens every week on the television show, you can identify clues, analyse the evidence and – hopefully – come up with a solution to what happened. It’s a great day out for a fan. The film ‘Speed’ may not have been set in Las Vegas but that won’t stop you from jumping aboard ‘Speed – The Ride’. This roller coaster has reaches 70mph, so it certainly lives up to its name. Not only do you get to ride it going forwards, you will do it backwards as well. As a result, it is probably best to try this one out before lunch! Not all attractions involve television shows and movies that have already been seen. You may also be able to get tickets to see a show that has yet to hit your screen at all. This is perfectly possible if you visit the CBS Television City Research Center. You will find it in the MGM Grand Hotel, and what’s more you won’t have to pay anything to get in. In fact if you decide to give it a go you will be helping out the huge CBS network, as you will be able to report back on whatever programme they show you. This is where new television shows are shown to the public, and you are asked to give your honest opinions on what you saw afterwards. It makes for a different experience in Las Vegas, and seeing as it’s free it might be worth doing if you have lost some cash on the slot machines! Once you have arranged your Las Vegas flights, make a list of the television and movie themed attractions you would like to see. They are all easy enough to access, and they will provide you with some great memories to bring back home with you.
