Today I put together the next bunch of "Guess the casino" posts so that they will keep popping up while I'm away in Florida. It made me realize that I'm starting to run short of usable pictures (not surprising, after about 800 such posts now).
If you have photos of either the interior or exterior of Vegas-area casinos--limited to those that have or have had poker rooms within the last few years--that you think would make good material for this feature, please feel free to email them to me (address is in the "profile" in the left-hand margin).
I still have plenty of shots of the handful of most obviously visually interesting and photogenic places--Aria, Venetian, Caesars Palace, Bellagio. It's others that I'm lacking.
Small legal points: Please only send photos that you have taken yourself, not ones that you found somewhere else on the intertubez. Also, sending them implies giving your permission to use them, though it will only be for this silly little feature, and only once--I'm not compiling a book or anything. Please also include a notation about how you would like to be attributed, e.g., full name, nickname, anonymous, or whatever. I need your real name on the email (because I'll be suspicious that anonymous submissions are not using their own work), but will publish or withhold whatever you prefer in terms of identification.
Thanks!

Do you prefer a specific file size , format and aspect ratio?
.jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png all fine. I can probably convert any reasonably common format to one of those (which is the list of what Blogger will accept). There's also an 8 MB image size maximum, but again, it's trivially easy for me to scale it down if anything is bigger than that. I don't care about aspect ratios.
If you're inviting others to submit photos, why not extend your "Guess the Casino " feature nationwide?
After all, your audience is everywhere, and most of us can take photos of our local casinos which feature poker rooms. Someone, somewhere, is bound to recognize the details. Might make for some fun.
Just a suggestion. I haz Borgata pix...
I, an anonymous but frequent reader/lurker of your most excellent blog, wish there was some way to get rid of these 'Guess the casino' posts. It certainly sounds like I'm in the minority, but I don't find them to be at all helpful or interesting, in marked contrast to the other posts. They remind me of advertisements: I can scroll past them to get to the good stuff, but they're annoying none the less...
