great video... yes, I know, they will often allow you to take photos/video; still doesn't mean that official policy allows this. I am certain, that Harrah's (Flamingo's) official policy is no picture taking on the casino floor. Heck, they gave me such a hard time when I tried to shoot pictures of the closed Caesars AC casino floor during the shutdown. Yes, a pitboss will sometimes allow it, but that is no indication that it is policy. I wouldn't be surprised if a different person the next day (or the next shift) said no to same the request.
