Nice interview location in Las Vegas?

[LucidDream]

Greetings, we are shooting a series of interviews in Vegas for a top client, I was wondering in anybody out there knows a good indoor location we might be able to use. It would be great if we could get high up with a nice big window in the background so we could see the strip. The interviews will be shot at night.

Thanks!

Mandalay Bay hotel is the 'southern most' on the Strip, and has 'north looking' windows. From Mid day on should be in 'shade', so an even window ND covering should allow you to setup a interior to exterior exposure that doesn't blow out.

From that vantage point, if high enough, one can see quite a distance down the strip to the north. I don't know what the 'expense' would be to be guaranteed a north facing room.

The 'problem' may be the fact that McCarren Airport is near by, and there may be 'jet' noise from landing and taking off.

The Bellagio is more 'central, but faces east/west, so your 'classic view' will be across the strip towards the Paris Hotel. The Bellagio has the 'water-fountain-to-music', which has become a classic Las Vegas shot.

Again, I don't know what the prices would be to guarantee a particular view or level of the hotel.


As a note Las Vegas is incredibly 'union conscious' so, let that be a watchword about doing a 'production' in town.

Just tell them your new bride gets off on seeing either the Stratosphere (tall hotel with a rollercoast type ride at the north end of The Strip), or gets off on seeing the Eiffel Tower from her room (or some such...).
