LV Documents Beliago

I had to do this assignment early due to my knee surgery the same day as the class was to go shooting. My knee surgery went well and I am recovering quickly. I am looking forward to the next assignment.
I had some really good ideas for this shoot but time ran out and I didn't get all the shots I had envisioned. I had wanted to get there soon enough to get pictures of maids cleaning rooms, and room service trays in the corridors but with the time restraints facing me and my surgery date looming just around the corner I only got to shoot for 2 hours. It is surprising how fast time flies when you are taking pictures.
My first location was on the top floor of the parking garage. There were some interesting views. Next I went to the casino floor. I have only been in the Bellagio one other time. (Yes I know I live here but I never go to the strip unless we have company or are going to a show)
My second location was inside a sculpture gallery. I asked the attendant if I could take pictures of the flower arrangements. I assured him I would not be taking pictures of the art themselves. He gave me an OK and so I looked around and found some orchids in a glass. After taking some images the gentleman who gave me permission decided to resend his approval. I was asked to leave. This was my first time to get booted out of anywhere. I complied.
I then went into the Atrium and then the Lobby. They have a special decorations up to celebrate the Chinese New Year "The Year of the Rabbit" I had fun and would like to go back and get more images.
