Knights of the poker table
...handheld shot of the Excalibur casino in Vegas. There are some nice shots to be had of this Casino, but we did not have time. Jon Martin and I got here super late and ended up just walked up and down the strip.
The archiecture and the lights are very interesting at night - and at dusk with a wide angle some winner shots can be had. There are also some buildings I need to go up in and I need to be on time for the Bellagio fountain show...I need to go back, but Vegas is one of my least favorite US cities so this is unlikely to happen unless I'm passing through. Both my visits so far have been just one night as the part of monster roadtrips.
My view on Vegas (keep in mind that I don't gamble) is to go once, make sure you have ice cold AC, cruise up and down the strip 3-4 times especially at night, then head to Utah. The strip is unique, but the rest is ordinary. Ok, I'm exaggerating (actually clubbing is great and shopping is okay). The shows are good too people tell me.
Nevertheless this is how I felt the last time. I was repulsed. I think the sudden change of scenary played a role. We had spent a couple days in Utah exploring canyons and starry skies so coming to Vegas was almost like waking up and cold sweating in the middle of a crummy TV commercial with flashing bright neon lights and loud party goers slapping you in the face. We both wanted to wake up from this crash reintroduction to modern bling so we quickly headed for Death Valley the next day.
