While the second installment in the comedy franchise - starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis - was set in Asia, the third and final movie will return to its roots in the gambling capital in the state of Nevada.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, parts of the film featuring guest star Mike Tyson will be shot just off the Las Vegas Strip and at Caesars Palace. The movie is set to feature the friends trying to spring Alan (Zach) from a mental hospital and will also be shot in Tijuana and Los Angeles with production expected to begin in September.
Director Todd Phillips is back on board for the project and promised the customary "mayhem, despair and bad decisions."
"I'm so excited to embark on another Hangover film with Bradley, Ed and Zach. We're going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned. It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions."

Skyfall Budget Cuts Mean UK Shoot

James Bond movie Skyfall is to shoot almost entirely in the UK.
The forthcoming 23rd installment of the franchise - starring Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and Dame Judi Dench - was expected to shoot in locations across the globe including Bali and China, but budget cuts means Turkey is now the only other country the movie will go to.
"Six different countries were selected but after several technical and financial problems, it was decided to scale back and just use Turkey as the sole foreign location," a source said.
British beaches will be used - including Bognor Regis on the south coast - in addition to Pinewood Studios. "As well as Pinewood's incredible facilities, the UK has some stunning beaches, particularly along the south coast near Bognor and parts of Wales," the source added.
Skyfall has already begun shooting on location in London including Canary Wharf and Charing Cross, and the film - being directed by Sam Mendes - is due for release in November.
