Thanks, guys! Ya I was traveling pretty light so didn't bring along the Manfrotto since I was with other people the whole time and didn't have a lot of time to shoot (only had the 50 and 85 1.4s with me....I really want and need the 24 1.4g). By the way, the MGM Lion shot was taken from a moving cab. I stayed at the Bellagio. Usually when I used to live in Salt Lake City years ago and take weekends in Vegas I would stay in the Luxor, but this time I wanted something nicer so tried the Bellagio and it was really a great place. Yes, Vegas is just like no other city, and a lot of fun to shoot at night.
