Movie Characters Most Emulated By Guys Visiting Las Vegas

Article by Todd Worz

10.  Raoul Duke(Jonny Depp) from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:

No matter what age, race or class, some people will step away from their “normal life” and partake in “extra-curricular activities” to keep the party going 24/7 while in Las Vegas.

9.  Ben Sanderson(Nicolas Cage) from Leaving Las Vegas:

Parallel to #10, most guys will drink well beyond their means while visiting Sin City and some will likely fall in love with an “entertainer” and use the phrase “I need a vacation after leaving Las Vegas.”

 8.  Nick Papageorgio from Vegas Vacation:

It really doesn’t matter if your “of age” or just a Vegas Virgin, everyone knows someone that has had incredible dumb luck gambling in a Las Vegas casino for the first time.

7.  Rusty Ryan(Brad Pitt) from Ocean’s Eleven:

He’s the guy that has it all under control in Vegas. The detail man, a pro at pretending to be someone else and is the person that everyone else turns to for help or advice.

6.  Trent(Vince Vaughn) from Swingers:

I’ll admit, after 10 years of living in Las Vegas, hearing someone shout “VEGAS BABY, VEGAS!” is still funny and exciting…in moderation. But I caution all to end it there. You’re not “money” and no one gives a rat’s ass about the Rain Man Suite anymore.

5.  Alan(Zach Galifianakis) from The Hangover:

Ok, maybe you’re not this guy, but you definitely have one in your circle of friends. He’s the fun loving, somewhat quiet guy, that just wants to best friends with everyone and doesn’t get away very often. He’s completely harmless, until he secretly spikes your drink with a date rape drug.

4.  James Bond from (pick one):

Really no need for explanation here, just watch the clip.

3.  Cousin Eddie:

"I haven't seen a beatin' like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose."
If you’ve ever taken 30 seconds to people watch while in Vegas, you might find yourself wondering if there is a factory somewhere that churns out Cousin Eddies by the millions.  Whether you see them walking the world famous Boulevard, in the casinos with a yard of Margarita or in the mirror...they're out there.

2.  Sam “Ace” Rothstien(Robert DeNiro) Casino:

Listen to me very carefully. There are three ways of doing things around here: the right way, the wrong way, and the way that DeNiro did it. You understand?  Every guy wants to think he's "connected."  There isn’t a man alive that wouldn’t want to do Vegas like Ace. Minus the, getting blown up in your car thing…

1.  Elvis Aaron Presley:

The man lived a life of unmatchable opulence and his impact on this city can be seen everywhere. Undoubtedly, EVERYONE at some time or another has mimicked Elvis, stated they “have left the building,” exclaimed “Viva Las Vegas” or muttered low and slow…”Thank you, thank you very much.”
