shoot locations in Vegas and Hollywood

Shoot spokesperson speaking in Vegas and Hollywood without permit?

Any tips on locations for gurilla style shoots? We want to drive into town get as many "cool" or "creative" shots as we can but cant afford permits or to pay for locations..

have full size van outfitted to be able to pull up, open doors, shoot and leave.

If you are shooting news "stand-up" style, you don't need a permit. Something like a three-person crew qualifies as being OK, bigger than that starts to become an issue. You should be fine.

Thanks for that info, that takes some pressure off.

Does anyone happen to know of any especially good "backdrops" that would be accessable to shoot?

I should point out, Kent, that the above does not apply to private property, such as shopping centers etc.
