Leaving Las Vegas crushes my heart every time I see it. An awful and beautiful story about how two desperate people fall into a codependent relationship. There are few movies that are as good as this one. - @Thursday, September 14, 2017 10:05 PM

This movie actually did really good at the box office and it's kinda funny to think that this trailer might've been a reason why so many people were attracted to see it. - @Sunday, March 6, 2016 9:29 AM

One of my all-time-favourites. I had a severe drinking problem myself, had to detox twice. So i know what i'm talking about when i say that this flick is realistic. <3 Thanks for posting. - @Saturday, November 30, 2013 12:50 PM

I think this movie is the best movie about both alcoholism and Las Vegas. - @Thursday, November 21, 2013 6:08 AM

Sadly, this trailer was actually better than the movie. Maybe the film would have been better if it actually was a quirky romantic comedy about a hot waitress lady falling in love with a funny guy who happens to be a drunk. As it is, the movie is just a depressing, unrealistic tale about an end stage alcoholic and a hooker (who both look like supermodels) just happening to live together while they both go about being idiots. What a shit movie, and a great trailer. - @Friday, November 8, 2013 11:33 PM

I know it seems strange to respond to my own comment but no one else did, so I had to eventually help myself..... I really didn't know who those two people were until I was relatively sober, then I had the common sense to look them up under the heading "Leaving Las Vegas full cast" The bartender is actor Graham Beckel. The "pretty lady" is actress Mariska Hargitay. Thank you both for your parts in this great movie. - @Wednesday, September 25, 2013 9:31 AM

Precious scene at 0:13. "I really wish you would come home with me, you're so cute and I'm really good in bed too believe me...... no ? O.K." I will be very impressed if you can tell me the actress that Ben Sanderson (Nicolas Cage) is talking to, it's that pretty lady who licks her lips before her other facial expression rejects him. The bartender, what's that actor's name ? You need to appreciate those people, you take them for granted, you probably take way too many people for granted. - @Friday, September 13, 2013 7:39 PM
