Hello, I'm a photographer working in Paris for a photo agency called Contexte. We are working for the French Press and and Corporate Customers. I first met the Stratosphere during a trip to Las Vegas in 2003. I came back in 2004 and 2005. I already sent this request through the website of the Startosphere, but as I get no answer, I'm not sure it arrives. So here is detail of what I'm requesting : I am today interested in making a photo reportage talking about the Stratosphere's Tower and more particularly about the 4 attractions on the top of it. In order to  make it in the best condition, I'd like to obtain all the authorizations from the persons in charge of the communication of the hotel. What I need is : 1 - to have the possibility to stay around the different attractions, going from one to an other during one or two days. 2 - to have to authorization to take pictures of the people who are managing these attractions (I.E : from the guy who is selling the ticket to the one who is helping people to access to the attraction itself etc...). 3 -and  may be to take pictures of the top of  the tower from an helicopter  (maximum 15 minutes). I have already worked in Las Vegas as photographer trying to show what people are feeling when they are on the Strip. I have made some pictures of the Stratosphere ( the tower, the pool, the "top of the world" etc..) Few of  them are viewable on my web site ( http://www.cylou.com in "travaux" - "archives" - "Inside Las Vegas"). As you understand, the Stratosphere is interesting me for lot of  reasons because of its "original design" and the real difference he makes in comparison with any other hotel in the town. That is why I will be open to any other suggestions from  you, showing the life at the Stratosphere. Please let me know. Thanks a lot for your help in this project. Do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Last thing, as I'm at the moment in France, I think that I can be available for this in Q1'06. Thanks again.
