    There is a star on the floor in front of Venetian (might be second floor overlooking the Strip) that indicates where center stage of the Sands Showroom was, very Rat Pack.

    If you're into James Bond movies there are a lot of locations where Diamonds Are Forever was filmed. My favorite is the windows that look over Circus Circus casino floor where 007 and Felix Leiter look for Tiffany. A "mouse with sneakers".

    I've got a tip for you! But first, as an ESL speaker, I just need to double check something. The last sentence there, shouldn't it be 'too many' people'?

    Here's your tip: Don't stand in that line, just move off to the side and take your own picture, snap it quickly as the groups standing in line are switching up!

    Anyway, sorry to pick on you, English be hard!
