I Don't Hate Las Vegas Anymore is a 1994 documentary directed by Caveh Zahedi.

The film follows Caveh Zahedi on a road trip to Las Vegas with his father and half-brother in an attempt to prove the existence of God. He posits that if God exists, and if God is indeed omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then all the filmmaker has to do is roll the camera and let God direct the movie.

But the movie isn't going in the direction the filmmaker would like, and so the filmmaker attempts to force God's hand by trying to persuade his father and half-brother to take Ecstasy with him. When they refuse, things quickly start to unravel.

The film won the Critics' Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival, and was distributed on home video by World Artists.

The film is currently unavailable, but IFC Films is planning a re-release in 2008.
