    Right you are Brian, photo #3 is (LAS) Vegas. Bonus points if you can ID the hotel.

    Ok, photos 1 & 2 are still unidentified.[/b]
    Looking at Google Maps&#39; satellite view to confirm, that definitely looks like Caesar&#39;s Palace with the general style and canopy overhead: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source...mp;t=h&z=20

    EDIT: Oh, and MSY for #1?

    My first impression of # 1 was Stockholm--I recall the trolley tram things running on track like that--right in front of our hotel and into the residential neighborhood.

    I want to say LAS for 3, but that seems too easy...[/b]
    I saw that and thought it feels like LAS or OOL.... but the cars confused me, and OOL isn&#39;t in nth america

    Brian you&#39;re on a roll. Photo #3 is indeed Caesar&#39;s Palace in Vegas and photo #1 is MSY, NOLA.
    Now the only mystery is photo #2. Where is that rocking chair?

    BTW, Nick I believe you. And I&#39;ll believe you even more when I get my $100.

    Going purely on the "go east from Rochester" clue and an AA route map, I&#39;m gonna say Hartford or maybe Syracuse... I can&#39;t imagine Logan or NYC to have that rocking chair, and I think you&#39;d have mentioned south if it were anywhere else from that corner. Plus, there&#39;s too much open space around for it to be Logan or NYC, even for an airport.

    *this* is why I&#39;m looking into getting a geography minor to go with my software engineering major...

    No and no. Brian, you&#39;re basing alot on one camera angle.

    You guys are going to have to "dig" a little deeper on this one.
