| How Much Of Csi Is Filmed In Las Vegas |
Lights, Camera, Action...in California?
Believe it or not, most of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation wasn't filmed in the dazzling neon heart of Las Vegas. Surprise! The series primarily called sunny California home, with filming locations in Santa Clarita and Los Angeles. Apparently, the California sunshine provided a more budget-friendly and controlled environment for those intricate crime scene recreations.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
But hold on a sec, CSI wouldn't be CSI without those iconic Las Vegas establishing shots, right? Fear not, Vegas wasn't completely out of the picture. The crew did venture out to Sin City for some "second unit photography". In layman's terms, this means they filmed those sweeping panoramic shots of the Vegas strip, the glitzy casinos, and maybe even a quick glimpse of the Bellagio fountains. These flashy visuals were then seamlessly woven into the California-filmed scenes to create the illusion of a true Las Vegas experience.

CSI: Vegas - Upping the Vegas Vibe
Now, things get a little more Vegas-y with the recent revival, CSI: Vegas. The stakes (and filming locations) seem to have shifted slightly. While California likely still plays a role, there are reports of more scenes being filmed on location in Las Vegas itself. Maybe they finally scored a sponsorship deal with a fancy casino? One thing's for sure, CSI: Vegas is aiming to bring the real Vegas grit and glamour to the small screen.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.

So, the verdict? CSI: Crime Scene Investigation mostly used California as its base, with sprinklings of Vegas for that authentic atmosphere. CSI: Vegas seems to be upping the ante on Sin City filming, but California probably still has a starring role.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
