I totally dig that 24 Hours sign.
I love these shots of neon signs. Very vibrant. I can almost feel the night life...
i'm going to vegas this weekend. i don't think i'll be going to such out of the way places though.
These are very nice shots. I have never had good results shooting neon lights. I guess I may have to try it again now that I have a tripod!
i absolutley love all of them! 'viva las vegas'
Excellent idea, and excellent photos. Keep up the good work.
I was just in Las Vegas last weekend for the 2005 CES. Unfortunately, the weather was damp and windy, so I didn't get any pictures of the city. After viewing these images, I'll have to make it a point to take some Vegas Neon next time. Nice set, Rion.
Ocean's Eleven - forever :-)
This is an excellent series. Love neon!
Love the last shot at the Chief Hotel. You can get "steamed heat". Where else but Vegas baby!
oh I miss Vegas. Born and raised but now living in SOCal. Love the photos!
love the pharmacy shot with the person's shadow - so COOL
