Hi,

Does anyone know whether Las Vegas has good portrait studios? Since
they have the drive-thru wedding chapels, I was kinda thinking it would
be cool if you could get good protraits done somewhere relatively
inexpensively compared to ordinary cities. I am not looking for
anything fancy; even Sears quality is tolerable. The reason for wanting
it done there is because of the Christmas rush here, all studios claim
they are booked. Since I will be there soon, I wanted to see if it
could be done there quickly and relatively inexpensively. Do any of
these big hotels on the strip have photo studios, the way cruise ships
have 'em?

I would prefer email replies since my news access is sketchy right now..

Thanks in advance,

Yes, but the "good" ones would have the same problems as you discribe,
perhaps, even more so since I don't think there are any top notch labs there.
I remember talking to someone with a studio in the MGM? but that was years
ago. Wedding Chapel stuff tends to run to the really cheezy hack stuff, mere
snapshots that your drunken brother-in-law can do, only it's their drunken
brother-in-law and it comes with a price tag. There are exceptions,
especially your's truly, myself.

As for Sears quality, there are places around that promote portraits in an
hour. If Expressly is too cheezy, try Photo Motion on Market St near Church
in San Francisco, Leslie Katz shows some nice stuff. Since you have a Berkeley
web site and a (510) area code, I presume it is near by.
