The principal photography of "Vegas in Space" spanned 18 months, but it took Fish and Ford eight years to raise the funds to complete the film. Most of the film was shot in Doris and Ginger Quests flat at 422 Oak Street San Francisco, CA.
For the opening scene of "Vegas in Space" the Spaceship Sequence, Doris had found the set pretty much intact and purchased it from a commercial display store.
Doris Fish co-wrote the script and starred in as the main role in "Vegas in Space," also designed the sets, costumes, makeup and hair, and miniatures.
During production of Vegas In Space, Doris was making a good living as a call boy and funding for the film came for their earnings. Doris once said "Who said you couldn't make a film on a prostitute's salary.".
