Las Vegas Locations

I'm a long time Las Vegas resident and I've tried to see just about every movie or TV show that was filmed here over the years, but I have never seen this one.

From what I can tell, it will become available on DVD soon, so I guess I'll pick up a copy, but until then, can anyone tell me about the locations used in the movie? The late 60's in Las Vegas are of particular interest to me. Howard Hughes was living here and was in the midst of acquiring just about every hotel/casino property that he could buy. The mob was at the height of it's influence. Rat Packer's were icons on the strip.

Anyplace interesting come up in this one?

There are a lot of exterior shots of casinos as characters drive by. Not sure if they're interesting enough to track down the movie just for them, although I think the movie is not bad. Here's an exchange between McCain and his girlfriend while driving past casinos:

Irene: Fabulous.
McCain: Twelve years in prison, I still get a kick out of these lights.
Irene: They're beautiful.
McCain: They're not beautiful. They're cheap. It's an attraction for sad, fat businessmen begging for more money. For hustlers, for thieves, for pimps. I love it.

Actually, I guess I'll put that up in the memorable quotes section.
