Are you fining it difficult to take photos in this environment? There is so much visual busyness and homogeneous stuff - tough to take decently composed images. I gave up taking photos on my trip very quickly - trying to find compositions and framing that pleased me was damn near impossible. I put my camera away and just went with being surrounded by the experience. Never regretted it and never found anything I was inspired to capture. I found Vegas a challenging subject.
Street photography requires a degree of tolerance for imperfection - composition is the first thing to go. You can find composition afterwards, maybe, reviewing your images.
Personally I am not too interested in things, but people, activity, expression, context. You have to work very very fast for that, no point in making the picture you want. You have to, rather, strive to take what fortune has given you, each instant.
Its a very frustrating way to work, as you are always missing the picture the fates have given you. Its all regrets, right until the desperate moment when the next picture appears.
On the general theme of sexual harassment, the gaming forum NeoGAF seems to have fallen apart after the owner was accused on Facebook. I hadn't heard about it beforehand, but per Wikipedia NeoGAF was one of the biggest drivers of traffic to the Hillary CLinton election website.
A number of YouTube videos gleefully celebrating this have been posted with the recurring theme "Rest in Piss."
Re: The Bergdahl travesty. It goes beyond the the killed and injured who went searching for this miscreant.
We traded five (5) enemy leadership for this guy. How many US service personnel lost their lives capturing these enemy leaders? How many casualties did these bad guys cause and now they're free to inflict more?
Now who would be laundering for, three are only a few players at his level or higher, he. Might have to sell the nabila back to trump, or maybe prokhorov wants a back up biat

I HATE Vegas. I have to work trade shows there. I feel like I need a sower every time I go there.
Watching people without a pot to piss in, coming to town to spend half their net worth, throwing money at games that support the big nice buildings they build is depressing

Congads on the picture of the "Eiffel Tower" in front of the Paris Hotel.
You make it 10x more impressive then it actually is.
It's that tacky, fake Vegas moon.

Stark raving Trump hating anesthesiologist assaults Rand Paul in his home. I hope it wasn't Toothless!
It ain't Vegas, but it's what we got.
I love Vega$, thanks for sharing.....be sure and go to Bellagio and see the chihuly(sic) glass and topiaries
"Stark raving Trump hating anesthesiologist assaults Rand Paul in his home. I hope it wasn't Toothless!"
No, he is probably a college graduate.
Trump derangement extends beyond McDonald's.
He claimed to be one once. Just a joke, though.
Mich State and Penn State - a real football game. These guys are playing with guts.

Republican Senator Rand Paul is 'ASSAULTED by his Democrat neighbor': Retired anesthesiologist 'ran onto politician's Kentucky property while he was mowing the lawn and tackled him from behind as part of an ongoing feud'
Ron Paul may not the greatest at making friends.

Maybe not, but if he mows his own lawn he's not as lost a cause as most Senators.
I'm going to pretend this is a Café, and say:
"prominent billionaire, member of the royal Saudi family, and one of the biggest shareholders of Citi, News Corp. and Twitter - not to mention frequent CNBC guest - Al-Waleed bin Talal, was arrested by the King"
is this Good News, or BAD NEWS?

That includes the four seasons section at the mandalay bay, yes that one. And 3% of Deutsche bank stock
Right re Waleed and Mandalay Bay.
Yet more food for the conspiracy theorists.

Yeah, and if he uses a leaf blower.
I have a paranoid suspicion that there are a lot of other paranoiacs out there...
At the very least, the four seasons may be needing a new vendor
It does resemblecthat Jon land potboiler I spoke of earlier:

But, then you would.
"be sure and go to Bellagio and see the chihuly(sic) glass and topiaries"
Better advice to me would have been: Be sure to leave the Bellagio.
That's where I spent the great majority of my time. The room, the restaurants, the pool, the lounge, "O," the casino...
I HATE Vegas.
I have to work trade shows there.
I feel like I need a sower every time I go there.

sorry, but seeing your bad travel photos is about as interesting as seeing anyone else's bad travel photos.
The moon? That's not the moon, it's an advertisement for Luna cafe and casino.
