Joe! Thanks for taking the time and effort in sharing your super great pics, especially for us out here on the east coast, who couldn't make the truck out to Vegas.

Joe, what setting did you use for the night shots?
Looking at those night shots, especially of the strip hotels, I keep looking for myself. Not really, but I was staying at the Venetian and walked across the street to the Mirage and down to see the Bellagio fountains. Where did you end up staying? So, what setting did you use for the night shots? My wife and I just bought a Sony Cybershot, which by no means matches your nice Nikon that you bought, but I think some of the settings can be close. I'm still in the learning stages of our camera. A friend of mine has the same camera and he has a nice zoom lens, I'm not sure what it's zoom potential is but the lens is about 12" long. He's gotten some amazing pictures from some of the NASCAR races we've been to.

Mark, I use Auto WB with ISO 1600. I would NEVER invest in staying on the Strip! Just about all of those nicer places are $250 to $400 per night on Fri-Sat. depending on the place. That's a LOT of Beer money!

Great shots as always Joe. LOVE that Daytona ProMod.
I like that car too!! When my brother saw that car come out of the water box in Vegas, he says "Hey its the car from Animal House".

Great shots as always Joe. I put off looking at this thread for several days because I was still pi$$ed about not getting to make the trip but I'm glad I finally took the time. It made me realize how much I missed seeing everybody and swapping lies, lol! On a much brighter note I might be trekking out to LV in a couple of weeks for the Street Super Nats... turns out I'll be done with my current job next Wednesday so I'm looking at flights on the 17th!

Staying on the Strip
Joe, thanks for the info. You're not kidding, it ain't cheap to stay on the strip. Fortunately I have a wife who is lucky gambling (rarely does she come back with less than she went with) and gets us comped rooms whenever we come to Vegas. In April for the 12th-15th event, we're hoping to be getting some offers to stay at the Wynn as she played most of the day there Monday after the event and before we went home that night. If not there, I think we're safe for getting something from Venetian. Where do you usually stay?Mark, I use Auto WB with ISO 1600. I would NEVER invest in staying on the Strip!

I go low budget for sure, this year I stayed at the La Quinta Inn off Paradise for $49 per. That's enough for me.
