Movie: The Cooler (2003)
Tagline: When your life depends on losing… the last thing you need is lady luck.
Trivia: The movie is based near Fremont street, which is now known as the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. It’s the original Las Vegas casino area before the strip was developed. Only the aerial exterior shots were filmed in Las Vegas. The majority of the location shots were all filmed in Reno, Nevada.
Goofs: Errors in geography: In the rooftop “Las Vegas” scene, the green lights of the Silver Legacy in Reno are plainly visible.
“The unluckiest man in Vegas – a guy whose bad luck is contagious – is used by the last of the old time mob run casinos to kill high rollers’ action. That is, until he falls in love with a cocktail waitress and gets “lady luck,” which throws the situation into reverse. Things turn nasty when the casino director tries to break up the romance.
