Strip icons
- Bellagio fountains — blue hour, handheld at 1/125s
- Welcome sign — arrive at 8 AM to beat the queue
- The LINQ Promenade — evening lens flare shooting up the wheel
- Venetian canals — the indoor bridge, mid-afternoon for soft light
Downtown
The Fremont Street canopy glows after 8 PM; the container-park murals bring color; the old Mob Museum facade gives you vintage brick.
The wildcard
Red Rock Canyon — 25 minutes west, and sunset ignites the rock in crimson. A free location with no crowd. Sunrise at the Welcome sign also thins the line.
Practical notes
- Tripods are rarely permitted on resort property
- Drones are restricted citywide without permits
- Casino floors bar photography at some tables and machines
