Q: Am I allowed to take pictures in a casino?
Interestingly, in their answer they did not mention the Las Vegas Hilton. It would be interesting to see what their official policy on picture taking inside the casino is.
I was startled and surprised several months ago seeing people walking by the sports book and taking pictures inside the casino with security guards walking nearby. Upon asking one of the security guards about it, he responded that there was no prohibition on taking pictures in the Las Vegas Hilton and that casinos in general weren't as worried about it as they used to be.
I actually suspect more likely that casinos have mostly given up on enforcing prohibitions against it with the advent of camera phones and other small cameras that are not obvious. It's better for people to be obvious about taking pictures where the casino can see them than to be secretive about it.

So, in light of the answer, how do we get all the pictures we have at this site,
showing various "wins" on various VP machines? Are these pictures all
"illegal"?

The Riverside casino in Laughlin has signs posted that they encourage you to take pictures.
We've taken many pictures discreetly in many different casinos.

I wondered the same thing as I was reading that article. ;Why are the casinos in Laughlin,
such as the Colorado Belle and Riverside, so liberal about picture taking when the casinos
in Vegas are not? What would be the difference?

====================================================
The ONLY time that I've ever had a problem with taking pictures in a
casino is around the pits. I've always taken pictures of my jackpots,
favorite cocktail servers, interior shots of the gaming area. The only
time I was EVER told to "knock it off" was when my wife was trying to
snap a picture of me and two friends at the craps table. This all goes
to privacy of the patron.
someone already posted what I think is the answer.
With the advent of camera phones, most casinos have
lightened up on this issue, some to the extent of
putting up signs welcoming cameras:-)

there are three kinds of people in this world. Those that make things happen! Those that watch things happen! and those that don't know what's happening!

Well if you're right, Joe, and most casinos have lightened up on
taking pics, that would sure be a sharp contrast to the original
LVA question of the day.

These days it's almost impossible to stop people from taking pictures. In most cases, digital cameras don't need a flash, and they are so small and quick to use, it's over in a heart beat. At the RIO, it seems to be almost expected that people take pictures when the show in SKY starts....I've even video taped inside the RIO and not a problem.
I doubt that anyone would really have a problem with you taking a picture of Aunt Agnes standing next to her favorite machine, but I'm sure if you appeard to be taking too many pictures so spending too much time on one machine or bothering other people, they might ask you to move along.
Fred, Atl
