Somerset Motel, Las Vegas [Canon 5D]

I was in Vegas for a couple of days last week to give a presentation at the PMA (Photo Marketing Association) convention and trade show. This was taken on my last day there when I decided to skip a taxi ride and walk from my hotel to the convention center. It was warm, but not too hot, and there was a comfortable breeze blowing.
Although the cab ride would have been faster (the walk took about 45 minutes), weather, time and distance permitting, I think that walking is always better. Not only for the health aspects of getting out and moving around, but also for the photographic opportunities you find that you would miss if you were in a car. This place was discovered on that walk: a 1950's era motel in the midst of the current mega hotels and casinos that populate the strip. This was actually located just off the strip on Convention Center Drive, but it was still an anachronism in its current surroundings.
