Spoiler alert!!! Nope. Google it yourself. It's not a documentary and the bar never existed in las vegas. It's not even a mockumentary, or a parody. This is just some low brow hipster production by some nits probably looking for a free vaca to vegas to shoot b-roll. I don't even understand why they bother with the charade except maybe to rag on whoever is stupid enough to believe any of this is true.
I don't know what genre this movie is but it's genuinely unauthentic. There are some scenes shot in vegas but google it for yourself, the bar scenes were allegedly shot in new orleans and it's not even for certain, it's a real bar. It's certainly not staged right for a bar in las vegas. Where are the gaming machines? A bar in vegas without gaming machines is a closed bar. Where are the security cams? So you might be thinking what difference does it make, and you'd be right except the movie is also terribly boring and I couldn't help thinking somebody was making fun of me for watching this. Anyway, after a mins, I wanted to go to a real bar, in real vegas btw, and hang out with real people but many bars in my area are closed and those that are open, aren't worth the risk during the season of the 'C'. So, I had to settle with a few ones at home and my new friend, zoom.

it's not a documentary and it's not even in las vegas
I miss bars
I was initially kinda angry when I found out this wasn't a real documentary. I had this weird emotional dump. It's hard to describe but I felt cheated in a way.
Thankfully though it also works as a regular narrative film, so I've gotten past them feelings and tried judging it based on that. A fictional film with mostly non-actors. And by them standards, it's still very very good. One of the best of the year actually. Which kinda begs the question, why did they even feel the need to try to sell it as a doc in the first place?
If something isn't an actual documentary, it shouldn't be categorized as such
Sure it was believable and entertaining, but finding out afterwards that it wasn't a real documentary, changed the way I viewed it. For better or worse.
