I was contracted by Marquee Nightclub at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to document New Years Eve with DJ Kaskade. Pandemonium ensued as Kaskade tweeted “So @MarqueeLV I have always played these long sets, So for New Years Eve i was thinking of doing 12 to 12 for 2012.” This one tweet went viral within seconds. It was the talk of the town, and also the world. “Would he really do it?” “Can he?” “Will people actually be able to continue partying until 12 noon?!!” The Answer is YES! He did it, and with the completion on his performance, he set a new record here in Las Vegas, as well as at Marquee Nightclub. Here are some choice selects from my gallery, the rest can be viewed at Marquee’s website (www.MarqueeLasVegas.com)

I also decided to put my new camera (Nikon D3s) through the ringer and see what it could do… Im amazed by its high iso performance. but more on that in a separate post.
