We also always take pictures of our jackpots, and have never had any complaints. I did notice security getting nervous when I was at the Plaza, in downtown Vegas, taking pictures of the pay schedules, but he didn't say anything. Also, we were given a tour of Mainstreet Station by security... there is a piece of the Berlin wall in the men's bathroom there, and security will be happy to wait until the bathroom is clear, and then allow women to take a look. While we were there we were told we could take pictures in certain areas, but not in others. This was due to the potential of taking pictures of the hands of the players at the poker tables. The mainstreet station is a beautiful downtown casino, and has some good video poker, too.
Taking pictures...
Unless it is new there is no poker room at Main Street.

Taking photos used to be prohibited by just about every casino. These days with cameras in practically every cell phone most casinos in Las Vegas, especially on the strip, have given up on general prohibitions and instead only get excited when you take pictures of certain things/areas or if you "look suspicious".
It's not that way outside of Las Vegas! Many Native American casinos especially smaller ones in the Northwest and Midwest still ban photography and some have signs posted at the entrance.
We take photos of most every RF we hit. One Wisconsin casino had a "no photos" rule but the slot attendant took my picture with the casino's camera and printed out a copy for me.

I take all kinds of pictures in a casino. I dont tap on the glass if you know what I mean. I have yet to have a problem. I am using a 18-200 lens. I dont take pics of the pit or in the pit.

Some Vegas casinos still maintain archaic policies regarding photos.
