The Chandelier Bar

Chandelier Bar in The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Chandelier Bar in The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The first thing you see when you enter the Cosmopolitan from the Strip at street level, or from the pedestrian over-pass is the Chandelier Bar.  The Chandelier is very popular at night, and the subject of many visitor vacation photos during the day.

The Chandelier is a three story bar covered with a multi-million dollar, 65 foot tall chandelier made from some 2 million beaded crystals.  The top two levels, which you see in the top half of the above photo is completely enclosed in crystals.  Access to the middle level is gained from a small, inconspicuous stairway from either below or above, making it a bit of what the Las Vegas press called a secret room.

The top photo is from ground level looking up, the bottom photo is from the third level looking down.

You did a great job of capturing the grandeur of this amazing bar!

Beautiful photo of a brilliant design.

But man, I’d hate to be the guy who has to clean that thing!

Cheers!

Amazing place Ron. What is your technique for shooting dark interiors in Vegas? Handheld right?

Wow. I’d hate to have to catch them if the threads broke !!

Thanks everyone!

@ Steve I would hate to clean that thing!

@ Nina – I agree – and they are heavy!

@ Richard I do hand hold – I use a high ISO. This was an HDR. I hand-held and bracketed, and then fire three shots in rapid succession trying not to move the camera too much.

Quite a change of venue from AK outdoors. Awesome captures as always. Blue Skies.

That is true Ken – this is about a far away as you can get from the Alaska outdoors!
