Why Hollywood Loves Destroying Vegas (On Film)

With the news cycle feeling a little… apocalyptic lately, we’re revisiting one of our favorite end-of-the-world conversations. Vegas has survived plenty of wild nights — but how would it fare if the world actually ended? Dayvid Figler joins filmmaker Darlene Dalmaceda and movie podcaster David Rosen to revisit some of the most memorable apocalypse movies set in and around Sin City. From “Mars Attacks!” to “Blade Runner 2049” and the cult oddity “Six-String Samurai”, they dig into why Hollywood loves blowing up Las Vegas.
