Vegas Eye: You know you know where this is!
Thursday, February 9, 2012
Sheesh, where are all of the tried and true Geo-Sleuths out there? I know you’re looking at these puzzles… Somebody needs to jump in and post some answers. Last week’s puzzle was on the famous Las Vegas Strip…. and I even added a multiple-choice option. Any takers on that one yet? And if this is too easy for you…. no one has been able to identify puzzle 98, 99 or 100…and there’s something familiar about each of them.
OK, we've all seen this, haven't we?
1. Where was the photographer standing to capture this photo?
2. What is the address here?
3. When was this installed?
5. How many other Vegas Eye puzzles are located within 500 feet of this location?
More about the Vegas Eye mystery photo game:
1) Anyone can play! If you think you know the location of the place or landmark pictured in the mystery photo(s) and can answer the accompanying questions, please post your responses as a comment below. Locations and landmarks are all located within a 35-mile radius of Las Vegas City Hall.
2) We invite you to contribute mystery photos to Vegas Eye and pose your own puzzle questions. If you’d like to contribute, please keep in mind that a good subject for a mystery photo should be unique in some way. There should be subtle but identifiable visual clues in the photo to help players solve the puzzle. Please send photos and puzzle questions to Vegas Eye at this address. (Please submit high resolution photos. Full-size images straight from your camera are best.)
3) If the players and contributors of this Vegas Eye game are unable to completely solve the questions posed by Vegas Eye, than Vegas Eye will be compelled to provide and post answers within a 30-day period of the original post. Participants in this Vegas Eye game will be awarded some level of bonus points for solving these puzzles within the thirty-day period. The calibration of the relative value of these bonus points is still be determined. However there have been two special honorees as the reigning super VE-Geo-Sleuths: October 2010, Tom Herbertson was able to deduce and otherwise figure out all of the mystery locations shown here and most recently, Martin Veneroso has posted a number of detailed responses, like this one for the Las Vegas Strip pink elephant and this one which is seen by hundreds of people every day!
4) We invite you to subscribe to the Vegas Eye Mystery Photo feature so you’ll have the first shot at solving each week’s puzzle.

Patti,
Happy New Year! So nice to see you back on here.
Yes, you’ve 3 of 4 of the answers correct… But I was actually going for a specific number for question #4.
You ought to put your geo-skills to work and solve 98, 99, and 100 too!

I knew #4 was wrong – just kidding
