This picture almost cost me my scalp!! SIX huge Indian Security people came at me from all directions immediately after I clicked this picture. They were MORE than a little excited. They made it quite clear that I wasn't allowed to take pictures anywhere in the direction of the casino. When I asked why, the head guy told me I might accidently photograph a customer that didn't want to be seen and they would hold the casino libel.
I asked him what about vegas where a Million people a day had cameras all over the city...and 1/2 the people were there with their girlfriends...wouldn't they be equally libel? LOL
So this other huge guy said they didn't want their "logo" photographed...that was the issue. I reminded him that I could get 1000 different pictures of it that afternoon, it was on everything they produced.
After 20 minutes, they finally let me inside the casino. Suddenly, this HUGE Security guy got in my face and told me he heard I took a picture INSIDE the casino. Even after I explained that I didn't/wouldn't do that...he made sure I immediately took my camera to my car.
It seems they aren't aware that almost EVERY Player in the casino has a camera in their pocket.....it's called a Cell Phone.
So enjoy the pic.....:)
BTW...they are in the middle of the Boonies in Coachella. You have to pass 4 large casinos to find them, yet they are in the process of building a new casino/hotel.
