Awesome pics man! What settings did you use? I followed the link where you stated your equipment - curious what your set up was.

Short of getting into specifics of each photo taken (which you're better off downloading an EXIF plugin to do this...), my setup for this shoot consisted of:

Nikon D200;
Nikkor 12-24mm f:4;
Manfrotto tripod (can't recall the model number)

I did have my 50mm f1.8 and 105mm f1.8 micro with me, but these displays just cried for the 12-24. It's this sort of shooting that makes me glad that I didn't scrimp on glass. The Nikkor stuff is the way to go, if you can live with the premium over 3rd party stuff.

Did you see what Albert posted on the first page, maybe you missed it. See below.

Personally, I'd just wander over to the entertainment district, get something good and then head to the show and walk it off with the cool night breeze.

Again, as mentioned earlier, I think it was very worthwhile.
