Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as her parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.. During a shot of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, a billboard can be seen promoting someone named Strawberry.
In a Vegas scene, a character refers to "McCarran Airport" While the international airport in Las Vegas had been known as McCarran International Airport for many decades, its name was changed to Harry Reid International Airport in late 2021

Greatest Day – Robin Schulz ReworkPerformed by Take That, Robin Schulz, Calum ScottWritten by Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange & Mark OwenCourtesy of Polydor Ltd. (UK) under license from Universal Music Enterprises. Watching this film I was reminded of some of those screwball comedies of the 1930s and 40s, with a touch of Tarantino thrown in, and a large dollop of raunchy non PC outrageousness.
The story is in fact very modern
Beautiful escort girl in NYC gets mixed up with a Russian oligarch's son and marries him …what could possibly go wrong? Well, everything. It's witty, outrageously non PC, explicit, and a lot of fun throughout.

Yes, many of the characters are quite cartoonish and it is at times a bit of a pastiche, but Mikey Madison is brilliant in the lead, and it's all done with panache and terrific energy. Some might question its moral compass, but I loved this often crazy, funny, manic and very adult entertainment..
