In this episode, we discuss Matt’s most recent James Bond filming location tour to Las Vegas. On this trip the group found something interesting about a specific DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER filming location.

For years, tours have gone through the Palm Mortuary and looking for the niche in the Mausoleum where James Bond exchanges the ‘diamonds’ for the ‘money’. Well, up until now, people have thought it was one niche, but they’ve been wrong.

We talk about where people used to think the niche was, why they thought that, and how Matt and his tour group discovered that the location in the movie was not quite where everyone has thought it was.

This is a fascinating look at the process of finding filming locations. It also shows how things can change in 50 years.
