Scenes of Tim Poster and Thomas Breitling were filmed around Las Vegas in January 2004. Filming at the Golden Nugget was initially scheduled to begin that same month, Casinos such as the
Aladdin Resort & Casino and
Caesars Palace were initially considered rather than the Golden Nugget. An area of the Golden Nugget's casino was closed off to allow for filming of high-stakes gambling at a roulette wheel, a dice table, and four blackjack tables.
The Casino was the first reality series to be shot with high-definition video cameras. Filming at the Golden Nugget concluded on March 17, 2004, with additional background footage to be shot at a later time. The theme song, "Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad", was written by
Bono and
The Edge, and performed by
Matt Dusk. ==Broadcast==
