Fun “Cool Story, Bro” anecdote: I finally went to Las Vegas for the first time in my life, just a few months ago. It was horrible. I will probably never go back. If I want to get hammered and piss away my money at a casino, I’ll do it in New Orleans. But I say this not to poop on the city. No, I bring this up because Hollywood is full of lies, and every TV show and movie that is based around the idea that Vegas is a fun place is just wrong. It’s full of nasty, miserable people, who would shoot their own parents for one more chip. But at least my toilet at the Aria had a heated seat. Silver linings and whatnot.
So that brings us to the new promo still above, for the film Last Vegas, or as IMDB describes it:
Four best friends in their late-60′s decide to escape retirement and throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single.
First thing’s first: Nobody retires anymore. And if someone does retire, he probably did something that deserves our scorn. Sorry for being a pessimist, but it’s true. If I ever retire, it’s going to be because I sold organs on the black market. Actually, my dad is retired, but I’m convinced he’s CIA, so that’s a completely different story.
Now on to my main point: Do you know what would happen to four 60-something dudes who try to have a good time in Vegas? They’d probably be robbed and killed by a hooker and her pimp. But seriously, have you ever actually looked at a 60-something dude who is in Vegas? Anyone north of 50 in Vegas that is hanging out in a casino is trying desperately to escape a terrible life.
All that said, if you’re looking for a film about Viagra jokes that completely lies to you about Las Vegas and will probably have a tagline like “What happens in Vegas, greys in Vegas” then Last Vegas is the film for you.



HAHA cool photoshop Ashley
One of the only places in the country where you can bet on sports and see gay German magicians get mauled by tigers and Burnsy doesn’t like it… Now that’s an ominous sign of the apocalypse.
If Lord Reptile wins the election tomorrow, I think I’m going to move to North Korea and pledge allegiance to young Kim il-Chi.

Las Vegas is usually a let down for most people because of the marketing inherent in all TV/Film set in Las Vegas.
That being said if you go there knowing what it is you like (for me poker, nice dining choices, spa, pool) it’s a much better experience. I basically treat it like any resort town but with more Ed Hardy shirts.
Worth noting: I didn’t get to play any poker there. I love poker, so that may have hurt my chances.
Try it sometime around one of the main poker room tournament schedules. Like the Venetian or Aria. It’s a different vibe than just going to go and do stuff n things.
I’m with you Torgo. Hit up poolside, get a massage, and gamble minimally and it’s fun. No different.
Jesus, Burnsy, where did you go while you were there? Everywhere but the strip?
Know who else doesn’t like Vegas? Ted Mosby.
Oh dear God, no.
It’s true. That’s one of the questions we asked him when we considered taking him with our 1st rounder in 2008 before we settled on Lee.
holy shit, kevin kline got old
Just as Burnsy’s calling the “What happens in Vegas, Greys in Vegas” tag line in advance, I’m calling my reaction to that tag line in advance, too:
Aw goddamnit, Burnsy!
Bad hyphen and bad apostrophe. These people really don’t give a shit.
I like to imagine Kevin Kline getting the rest of the cast to watch Bob’s Burgers with him. That is the only thing that makes this worthwhile.
Haven’t been to Vegas in… probably about 16 years. It’s the premiere destination for losing your money for the day in about ten minutes, then realizing why people play nickel slots… because it’s the only way they can get through three hours of gambling and still have money.
It’s the worst place on Earth to go solo. If you don’t have somebody to eat with, gamble with, go to shows with, then it’s all “well, my cash allotment is gone. I can dip into tomorrow’s or I can go back to my room and watch tv until then.”
Also, it took me a solid five minutes to realize that “Ashley Burns” is Burnsy. Should have been intuitive. I think the problem is that the former actually sounds kind of respectable.
I’m trying hard to get more readers by making people think I’m a hot chick.
It’s almost a porn name.
Deniro’s face. It’s like he’s doing an impersonation of himself…and it’s glorious.
When De Niro asks “Are you talking to me?” in this movie it’s because he lost his hearing aid
People in their late 60′s don’t got to Vegas, they go to the casinos on Native American reservations in Oklahoma.
Michael Douglas looks great in that photo. Seriously, he made a deal with the devil after the whole throat cancer deal. He will birth the antichrist with his hot wife.
Morgan Freeman hasn’t been in his “late-60′s” since Clinton was in the White House. And I mean the literal Presidential residence, not the interracial porn star White Houz.
Im pretty sure Morgan Freeman was born in his mid-60′s. Thats my impression anyway.
Touche.
So it’s The Bucket List with added white guys. They should call it The Pale List. HOMOPHONES!
Las Vegas is the most gaudy, obnoxious, desperate town. It is phony and depressing. In those respects it’s truly the most “American” town on the map.
Having said that, this movie looks just delightful! You just dont see that Kevin Kline getting enough good roles!
Good lord, when did Kevin Kline morph into Gene Hackman?
My god look at De Niro, I don’t know if he is trying to laugh or he’s crying.
Somewhere Dabney Coleman is sitting around wondering what could have been…..
