Posted by Ra Moon
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... until a bachelor party gets out of control. A night they will never remember, but the four of them will never forget.
The Hangover was filmed in Las Vegas and California, the same place where the 2009 winner of the Golden Globe Award for best motion picture is set.

Todd Phillips (Joker, Borat) directed this furiously paced, crazy, and wild movie that has become a classic Hollywood comedy that ended up generating a trilogy of movies.
Bradley Cooper played Phil, the charismatic leader of the Wolf Pack, and The Office‘s Ed Helms plays Stu, a responsible and wimpy dentist. Zach Galifianakis rounds out the starring trio as Alan, Doug's socially inept and childish future brother-in-law.
Welcome to Sin City and our guide to the filming locations of The Hangover.
The Hangover House
The Garner residence is a magnificent house at 415 South Grand Avenue in the Bellefontaine neighborhood in Pasadena.

You can't book the awesome US$4,200 per night villa because it was entirely built in a set at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California.
But there are two-bedroom suites available in this mythical resort from about US$600, although the villas, located on the lower floors, cost up to $40,000 per night.
The corridors and the elevators were filmed at the Augustus Tower, one of the six distinct towers at Caesars Palace.
The rooftop scenes were filmed at the actual Caesars' Forum Tower Roof, which obviously is not open to the public.
To enjoy dazzling views of the central Las Vegas Strip area you can go to one of the rooftop bars like Chateau on top of the Paris Resort.
