While in Las Vegas from Christmas to New Year's Day, a friend was pleased to show me some photos taken in Las Vegas while attending a formal event just prior to Christmas.

This contest is based on identifying the location of the event, not the event. To start off with, I have included a snipet of one of three different photos.

I plan to post a new snipet each evening until the location is correctly and appropriately identified. For each day that passes, without a correct answer, I will add an additional prize.

The contest will be open to all readers of The Chip Board and if the contest goes into a day two, I will also open it to the members of ChipTalk.net, as a concurrent contest.

The prize(s) offered will not, by design, have anything to do with the location. And yes, there is a catch.......

In an effort to avoid being bombarded by a flurry of guesses, a participant can only give one answer (guess) on a given day, and MUST then wait 24 hours before getting the chance to give another answer (guess). This 24 hour waiting period will be allowed to repeat.

So, be sure to answer wisely.

The first correct answer submitted will stand as the sole winner. I will be using the system clock here on thechipboard to determine who answers first and I will be the sole individual to make that determination.

So, here is the first snipet clue:

And here is the first prize item:

Lets have some fun....
