Las Vegas is a notoriously difficult town to get permission to film in. But Scott was allowed to film on top of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, which has the world's biggest guitar on its roof. For this shot, Roth had to be hoisted into position by a crane -- along with his make-up artist Ellen Wong, who hid behind the guitar during filming. (Text by Susan Broom.)
