Sure -- Casino action (tungsten film), street scenes, the notable casino
exteriors in daytime and specially at dusk and at night (some hyper lens
spacing might be advantageous here), and enormous opportunities for
close ups of neon signs in all their colors and shapes.  Fish eye
lenses, Zoom shots (moving the zooms in synch while the shutter is
open), camera movement while the shutter is open at night, shots from
high up in hotel buildings (hyper a necessity here), -- if he can't find
things to photograph in 3D in Las Vegas, he'll never be able to take a
stereo of anything!  It's the Glitz capitol of the world, a bewidering,
fantastic tapestry of exquisite design, cheap shlock, and eye-filling
spectacle.  Turn me loose in it and I could burn ten rolls of film in a
Realist and twin 35's in a couple of days there. Dr. T would probably
get 30 or 40 rolls of gems in the same amount of time!
:>)  I haven't been there, except to pass through it without time to
stop, for fifteen or twenty years, and I'm ready for a return
photography trip!

Cordially,
