Las Vegas

Steven, now that would be a great video idea... all the dirty looks people have given you on your trips!

Shiv, I'm sure those security guards don't have anything better to do. I was nearly tackled when I raised my camera inside a casino.

Ryan,

Yea for them, if you've got a tripod and a "high powered" camera you're a professional and they don't want you taking videos :).

Great stuff, Steven. I shot a tape's worth of Vegas at night last month with my HV20. I had my XH-A1 with me, but I just kept leaving it in the hotel room because I felt self-conscious lugging it around in the casinos. And, I was led to believe that it wasn't kosher to shoot video on the casino floor.

Anyway, living as I do 2 1/2 hours north of the city that never sleeps, I think I'll go back down with my A1 and the Letus attached and spend a night taking some more shots of that most interesting of places. It really is a treasure trove of interesting sights -- alternately beautiful and tragic.
