On screen: The casino and fountain finale

The Bellagio appears as a real location in the film. The elaborate vault and heist systems are fictional production design rather than a plan of the hotel’s facilities.

In the film

Movie frames and production stills are shown separately from photographs of the real building. Film and image credits remain with their respective owners.
