Gas n Gulp - 1 Goodsprings Rd. Jean, Nv. 89019

The gas station closed in 2018, right around the same time Terrible's Road House opened for business, just across the street. And understandably so, the new travel center is extremely impressive and I always make it a point to stop there any time I'm in the area. The gas pump island was removed in 2019. The structure remains, however. At the time of my visit it was being renovated to be converted into a Starbucks.

Chow escapes - northeast corner of* E. Mandalay Bay Rd. and Haven St. Las Vegas, Nv. 89119

They drive north along Haven Street before pulling into the dirt lot. Directly west of the dirt lot, in the paved parking lot, is where the Las Vegas shooting occurred on October 1st, 2017 at the Route 91 Harvest music festival. Sixty people were killed by a gunman from his 32nd-floor suite at Mandalay Bay.

Desert exchange - east of* Ranch Rd. Jean, Nv. 89019
(Jean Dry Lake Bed) 

The screenshot is looking south. This location can also be seen in Casino, when Ace and Nicky meet in the desert to talk. In The Hangover, a scene was filmed where it shows the reflection of the Mercedes pulling up in Chow's sunglasses. This was a tribute to the scene in Casino where you see the reflection of Nicky's car pulling up in Ace's sunglasses.

  1. The Gas n Gulp was really a Shell station they just used and renamed for the movie, looking at the streetview photos in google maps, it later became a chevron and purchased by terribles then they shut it down once that new one was built, i just saw a WonderHussy youtube video of Jean, NV today and it looks like the Starbucks has been completed and any trace of the station gone.
