Quote from the link:
It was the 26-foot-by-55-foot kidney-shaped pool with 4-foot-wide portholes that Rosoff's parents and uncle installed in 1955 to make the place stand out. "We were way out on the south end of nothing," Rosoff said. "People used to come in asking how far it was to Las Vegas."
Movie producers noticed immediately. The first film shot there was "Las Vegas Shakedown" in 1955, starring Dennis O'Keefe, and a parade of cameras followed. Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue kissed underwater in "Leaving Las Vegas." Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore checked in while considering "Indecent Proposal." Cindy Crawford filmed an episode of her former MTV show, "House of Style," in a suite that was once Rosoff's parents' apartment.
