Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher stayed for a week at Oheka Castle (pictured, right) in Huntington - the newly restored Gold Coast estate of financier Otto Hermann Kahn turned catering and events hall - while filming "What Happens in Vegas."

Production took place the week of Sept. 24, 2007 - Kutcher and wife Demi Moore's second anniversary. Moore accompanied Kutcher for the shoot, staying with him at the estate, also a hotel where rooms can cost up to $975 a night. Diaz stayed for the week, too.

Five scenes were filmed at Oheka. There was an outdoor party scene for which the Oheka staff prepared pastries. Another scene was in the garden at night, during which the lighting crew stood atop 40-foot towers. In the so-called Gatsby Suite, says Tom Young, Oheka day manager, the crew shot "a love scene" for which it took three hours to sew Diaz into her dress. It also took many hours to film a scene inside the Terrace Room, which was transformed into a Vegas-style casino. And, on the front lawn, the crew shot "bicycle polo."
