Default Viva Las Vegas!!!

So in a little less than 2 weeks I'm making my first trip to Las Vegas with my GF. Those of you who have gone what did you find worth wild to shoot? We arent renting a car so we will be mostly around the strip and will end up at least going to Fremont Street once. Did you who have gone find time to do some shooting or is true that this place is such a party place with so much to do that you found that you didnt have much time. Where going to be there for 3 and a half days or so and will be there on halloween. Those of yu who have pics I would love to see them. Thanks in advance for all that take the time to respond.

Have a great time in Vegas! I think http://digital-photography-school.co...irbinster.html just got back from there. PM him and see where he went. I would say a must do are the lights on Freemont.

I didn't bother going to the strip when I went but Fremont Street was wild!

Also, no matter how late (6 am) and how drunk we went to bed we were up by 10am so you'll have plenty of time to shoot.

As others said, I was just there and took lots and lots of pictures. But, I had a car and went to such places as Death Valley (350 miles round-trip), Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon, Canyon of Fire and a few other places. Here are two sets on of most the Stip and one of Freemont area.

Halloween on the Strip should provide quite a few photo ops...

Haven't been since I got my DSLR, so never really concentrated on photography there.

I keep saying the next time I go to Vegas I will take the time to take more photos and explore more... Hasn't happened yet! But I do love to shoot the night scenes. All the lights on the strip are just so fun!!

Here's the link to my 2 Vegas sets... not my best stuff, but then again I seem to get distracted when I'm there

I think you will spend most of your time trying to steer you GF away from the porn advertisements
