Thanks. I'll be there first week of Jan.

I checked out the street view in Google Maps and you're right... certainly require wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide and there's trees obstructing the view from the other side. What about from a higher vantage point?

That aside, probably wanna shoot the characters on the streets. 18mm on crop enough to fit an american or not? tongue.gif

higher vantage point? then you'd have to be staying at a strip facing suite in the Bellagio. I got a good view from our Augustus Suite at Ceasar's Palace.... Not sure if by January the new Cosmopolitan would be open. you can however stand at either end of the "pond" to get the wider shot. But problem with that is still, since the fountain still shoots over 100ft up, if you plan to vid, you'd have difficulty framing the top of the fountains on its more powerful shots. Go at 12 midnight. They play the American national anthem along with the watershow.

Where will you staying when u are there?

Too bad, the kit lens wont work well. picture worthy characters only come out at night..... unless you plan to blind people with a flash, the only thing you could use is a fast prime. if you are lucky enough, perhaps you'd get flashed by something other than a strobe.....

I think that's cos we usually shoot closer/more personal/wider with compacts. With DSLR, one tend to avoid sticking it into the subject's face.
100ft aye?  Looks like vantage point is out of question.

I'm staying in the Bellagio.

Where's the best place for "character" spotting without ending up being mugged/shot/both?

Vegas is quite safe if you stay on the strip. It gets seedy past the Stratosphere.
Vegas during spring break is a madhouse....if you get what I mean....

January can be a little chilly, but in summer, the pool side scenery at Ceasar's is quite the eye candy.
