I certainly would not "whine" if caught, etc. but this particular
group (Chicago) does not oppose their fans taking photos. They even
ask them to send in photos for their website from shows. This is a
decision of the casino and yes I know it's their right to have these
restrictions. I was just asking any experiences with this particular
venue. We were there years ago but I did not have a camera along.
