More Casinos with the TTArtisan 11mm Fisheye

Caesars Palace Statue Fisheye - Las Vegas, Nevada

Caesars Palace Statue Fisheye – Las Vegas, Nevada

I squeezed in one last Las Vegas Strip walk on the last day of my visit. My flight was scheduled for late afternoon, so I had time during the day to explore even further north than my previous photo walks. Like the night before, I shot with the Fujifilm GFX 50S II and TTArtisan Fisheye. This walk and blog post are continuations of my casino in fisheye coverage.

Since I left off at the Bellagio the night before, we start today’s coverage just north at Caesars Palace. I didn’t go inside but created this dramatic, super-wide picture of the outdoor sculptures.

Paris Casino Neon Fisheye - Las Vegas, Nevada

While I’ve shot the exterior of the Paris Casino, I never went inside until that afternoon. As expected, there were French-themed elements inside. However, I was most enamored by this circular red neon entryway. Fisheyes often render circular objects most desirably, and the red neon, which I love, was icing on the cake.

Venetian Exterior Fisheye - Las Vegas, Nevada

I spend much time at the Venetian Hotel and Casino complex. I first stayed there on a business trip many years ago during my first visit to Las Vegas. I knew there were many visually enticing scenes waiting for me to capture. Here, I’m on a balcony looking towards the Faux-St. Mark’s Bell Tower — the original is located in Venice.

Venetian Fresco Fisheye - Las Vegas, Nevada
Venetian Bar Fisheye - Las Vegas, Nevada

The symmetrical composition is near the entrance to the Venetian. The super-wide-angle has dramatically elongated the flanking stairways. However, the fresco on the ceiling impresses the most.

While exploring the Venetian, I discovered this bar, which was unpopulated during noontime, even in Las Vegas. I love the rich and opulent design, while the giant chandeliers make impressive focal points.

Venetian Great Hall Fisheye - Las Vegas, Nevada
Venetian Globe Fisheye - Las Vegas, Nevada

This grand hallway impresses with its details and geometric floor. It leads to the golden globe housed under a dome with an oculus. These are some of my favorite interior elements of the Venetian.

Wynn Garden - Las Vegas, Nevada

I finished my walk just north of the Venetian at the Wynn Las Vegas Resort, one of the Strip’s most upscale properties. I prefer it to the more famous and centrally located Bellagio. This lush garden area was particularly delightful and photogenic.
