What Happens In Vegas
January 5, 2009 (Episodes)
Robert Cooper, the writer and director of Stargate Atlantis' penultimate episode, `Vegas', reveals the hard work that went into the show's most ambitious location shoot yet!
... You only had two days to shoot in the city?
RCC: "Yes. We just couldn't afford more. It was almost prohibitively expensive as it was. We got permission to break the bank, but only to a certain extent. We certainly could have done more down there¬ – the script called for three or four more days of Vegas – but we made it work in certain parts of Vancouver. There was the motel that we found that felt a little Vegas-y. We also went out into the interior of DC, into the Okanagan, and there's a little patch of desert out there. So our crew drove three hours from Vancouver and we all stayed in wine country to shoot for the three days in a town called Osoyoos. That was fun, it was like a road trip!"
Frank Vincent, Steve Schirripa, Robert C. Cooper and Neil Jackson (Wraith)
