Best Photo Spots Along the HoHo

This guide pairs spot, time-of-day, and quick camera settings.

Essentials

• Bellagio Fountain (sunset/golden hour): Use 1/100–1/500s for crisp water freezes, or 1/4–1s for silky motion with a tripod.
• The Strip skyline (from a distance): 24–70mm to capture context.
• Fremont Street at night: Use high-ISO capable camera or tripod for long exposures.

Quick camera cheat-sheet

• Day: ISO 100–200, f/5.6–8.0, shutter depends on subject.
• Night: ISO 800–3200, f/2.8–5.6, tripod for >1/2s exposures.

Composition & vantage tips

• Upper deck seats give unobstructed skyline lines; sit on the right heading north for sunset.
• Use foreground elements (casino facades or signage) to add depth to wide shots.

Phone photography

• Use night mode for low-light shots and lock exposure to avoid blown highlights.
• Bring a small stabilizer or use bus edges for steadying long exposures.
