Scorsese’s tale of mob-run Las Vegas was shot where it happened – inside the real casinos of the Strip and downtown, filmed overnight while gamblers still played. Its fictional Tangiers casino was the genuine Riviera, later imploded, making the film a record of a Vegas that no longer exists.
Where was Casino filmed?
Casino was filmed in Las Vegas – the Riviera casino (as the Tangiers), downtown, and around the Nevada desert – plus some California locations.
Every Casino location, explained
1
The Tangiers – the Riviera casino
The fictional Tangiers was the real Riviera on the Las Vegas Strip, shot at night around actual gamblers – the Riviera was later demolished.

Downtown Las Vegas
Key scenes, including Ginger’s final moments, used downtown Las Vegas around South Main Street.

The desert
The film’s darker business plays out in the Nevada desert outside the city.

The homes and beyond
Sam and Ginger’s suburban Las Vegas houses, and a few California locations, fill out the story.
Planning a visit
Las Vegas remains the film’s living subject, though the Riviera – its Tangiers – is gone. Downtown’s Fremont Street area still carries the retro Vegas atmosphere the film so lovingly captured.
