    The Hangover was shot in Ceaser's Palace. Ceaser's Palace has special "Rain Man" suites which replicate the ones used in the movie "The Rain Man". The Texas Pacific Group along with Apollo Investments (Hamlet Holdings) is the current owner of Ceaser's Palace after they acquired in 2006 Harrah's Entertainment (the largest gambling group in the world) who owned Ceaser's Palace.

    the connect would be caesars palace Las Vegas which is owned by harrah's entertainment and has been sold to TPG. Hangover and Rainman have a good amount of their shooting over here. Maybe the third movie was also shot here
