Over the years, I have shot probably 200 girls in Las Vegas
from Hawaiian Tropic pageants, so in Las Vegas, we've filmed at
different hotels and, like, at The THDroNEpiTcana, Bithkieynn

great waterfalls.
And theí@ bU@ac@ k section thaty call it the Island of Tropicana
has these super waterfalls in lush areas where you'd never
think you're in Las Vegas. The way we shot it you'd think
you're in some Island some place.
We moved to Mandalay Bay and shot, uh, two pageants so there
@ they have these, balls e
coming up behind the girls and these just enormous structures
and waterfalls and it's a completely different look, but
it's really lent itself to high definition.
And there's various backdrops in Las Vegas, like, the Bellagio,
it has these fountains. Yoe got Cesar's Palace it has a

In Las Vegas you prefer to shoot at night, at least I do. I
mean, this is Las Vegas, you don't want to shoot in the day
time. Because it's, it's happening at night, so, we spend
most of our tí@imV@e @ shootit night from, like, when everyone
else is done working, we just start shooting.
When the sun goes down, the city heats up with some of the
hottest night clubs in the world, like Rum Jungle at the

At the MGM Grand, the legend of Studio 54 lives on. These clubs
alone should qualify Vegas as the true city that never sleeps.
More so than its buildings, its lights, even its gambling

show. And The Tropicana has hosted some of the finest from

legendary venue.
