Filming in Prolific Club

[Slimothy]

I hate to sound like a dick. But your little project even if it gets on network television doesn’t matter to them. These clubs you are talking about do not advertise and that is for good reason. They don't have to. Vegas has so many tourists, and these tourist need things to do. So they will go to the clubs if they put out advertising or not. Now if you are filming a feature film with name talent that is a different question. Or if you are HBO and filming entourage, then that is something as well. The only ads you will see for casino clubs are video on the casino grounds and print ads on taxies.

I think you misunderstood. In no way would I be stupid enough to think that my potential tv project could have much advertising benefits for these huge clubs. I was more talking about them getting a bit more business the night of the filming as people get interested when there are cameras around. Not that they are in need of that either, I was just making the point that the cameras won't hurt anything, if anything they can help pique some interest for passerbys.

Thanks so much for the advice though. TIm.

I agree with you camera's never hurt.

I have a friend thats in upper management and he has said they have 100's of cameras in the ceiling and walls and everywhere. They dont allow cell phones in most of them so trying to shoot without there knowledge is testing you luck. They have people trying to test the water with all kinds of stuff and if you get caught it can be tough. I'd ask permission from the senior manager of the casino whos over security, and it would help if the person your shooting is a guest at the casino. You have to show that they wont be shown in a negetive way.
