NBC: Google Glass Banned In Las Vegas

Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, and the same adage applies to those who own a pair of Google Glass sometime down the road. This goes without saying, since the casinos and strip clubs in Las Vegas would not want you to record what is going on on the casino floor and shows for obvious purposes. Peter Feinstein, managing partner of the Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas mentioned to NBC News, “We’ve been dealing with the cellphone videoing and the picture taking over the years and we are quick to make sure that that doesn’t happen in the club. As the sale of [Google Glass] spreads, there’ll be more people using them and wanting to use them at places such as a gentlemen’s club. If we see those in the club, we would do the same thing that we do to people who bring cameras into the club.”

A spokesperson for MGM resorts too mentioned, “Picture-taking is frowned upon, and security officers on duty ask individuals not to take pictures for the privacy of others in the casino. This new product is nothing new in terms of a challenge for us, because for so many years, the very tiniest of portable lipstick and pinpoint cameras have been around.” There should be a Frommer’s Guide to Google Glass-friendly places eventually…
