Las Vegas, NM as Movie Set

If you saw the academy award winning film, "No Country for Old Men," you have visited Las Vegas. The film was shot entirely there.
Movie making started in the early 1900s with many silent films, including all of the Tom Mix cowboy movies. He actually had a studio built in the town for his films. The list of films made since then is extensive, but a few of my favorites include, "Wild Hogs," "Wyatt Earp," "The Longest Yard," "The Astronaut Farmer," "North Country," and "Easy Rider."
