Hi Len.
When I was in Vegas in '99 you couldn't take pics in the gaming areas of
the casinos. Someone recently mailed me off list and said this rule had
been relaxed, but I can't confirm that.
They *will* let you carry your camera around with you, i.e. if you're
walking around with one they won't take it.
I suppose if someone had a small camera, a fast lens, and TMAX 3200,
they could take some surreptitious shots from the hip. They could just
let the camera dangle around their neck, keep one hand on it as if to
steady it, set the focus manually, point, and shoot.
They might end up looking like this:

Of course, I cannot condone or recommend such activity, and there are
other things to shoot:

I don't remember any flash pics in the shows I went to, so I suspect you
can't shoot in those, but that might vary.
Riverdance sucked (not that I wanted to go anyway). They had a 'tap
track'....
