filming had been scheduled to begin in october 2011, in los angeles, california, but was pushed back to january 2012, with casting of the remaining lead roles occurring throughout october. principal photography began on january 10, 2012, lasted approximately 47 days and had a $30 million budget. the film was shot on film stock instead of digital because it was decided that the difference in cost between the two was negligible, and the day shooting and color palettes of the magicians' outfits such as black and red were thought to be captured better on the stock. filming started with four days of shooting in las vegas, nevada, with over 400 extras hired to play background pedestrians, tourists and casino workers. among the locations used during the las vegas shooting are interiors and exteriors at the bally's las vegas hotel and casino, and exteriors of the las vegas strip, downtown las vegas, fremont street, and binion's gambling hall and hotel. scardino, who had not filmed in las vegas since helming an episode of "tracey takes on..." approximately fifteen years earlier, described shooting on location in the city as "an absolute must". scardino added "we just felt that, to give the movie authenticity, it had to be on the strip". the first day of shooting saw carell and buscemi suspended inside a perspex box, with wilde and gandolfini also on set. carell was filmed on the strip because scardino believed his character is "a creature of the strip," while carrey was filmed "in and around fremont street," where his character felt more at home. scardino explained the decision to film the characters in these environments, saying the "two different worlds" of vegas "helps define our talent," with the "ever-changing strip" providing contrast with "the frozen-in-time aspect of fremont street."
