The flash cuts through neon as the Strip wakes into its own late-afternoon glow. You step into frame beside chrome hotels and reflective glass, then trade city lines for the raw sandstone of Red Rock Canyon an hour west — a short drive that turns backdrops from electric to ochre. A local photographer guides poses, times light, and nudges angles so the city and desert feel like two acts of the same story.
