Security is Vegas needs to lighten up on picture taking

Ellis Island security department does not want bloggers to promote their hotels for free.

Do the owners know that if you love their casino the security will threaten you with a lawsuit. Kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Take a photo of the Luxor. Security will meet you in the street to inform you that you could be sued. The same goes for The D, Golden Gate, Ellis Island and almost every casino in Vegas.

Why Can’t I Take Photos of Casinos?

The simple answer is greed. The folks who own the casinos were getting so made that people would use images of their buildings that they copyrighted the images. Now you must pay them to use an image of their building.

But restricting guests from taking photos of your signage is impossible to enforce since signs are visible from the street.
