I saw a lot of topics about photo tours, but nothing specifically about taking them at sunset. Does anyone have any experience with this? I was toying with the idea of doing a daytime ceremony in-suite (4:30-5:00), breaking away for a sunset photo tour and keeping guests occupied with cocktail hour and setting up the heavy apps, and then coming back and partying away the rest of night in the suite. I worry about leaving guests alone for an hour or two, but if we have someone to keep them entertained I'm thinking it would work out.
I really wanna do a night photo tour just the two of us with my groom, but that would involve leaving the ceremony early (originally I was planning 9). Since we are coming from the east coast, I'm worried we'll be too tired to get good pictures by that time.
Does anyone have experience with either? I know the best time would be in the daytime, but I think the strip is so much prettier at night.

Today it's 5:33p, but in four months it will be as much as 2.5 hours later, for example.

I toyed with the idea of doing nighttime shots a couple days before, but that would add to the package as I would have to book the photographer for another day. Right now I have Todd booked 8 hours for one day.
Of course it's a matter of your priorities, but I don't think photos are worth missing so much of your reception. I'd do either the sign photo or the photo tour, but not both.
The original plan was to end the reception at 9 and THEN do all these photos, ending in Freemont street and having everyone meet us there who wanted to. But this way if we do the photos in between, we can just stay in the suite and don't have to worry about being to stressed (or too drunk -lol) to take photos. Also, I'd be scrapping Freemont street. As beautiful as it is, I think it might be too hectic to try and take photos there the night of the wedding. Plus, you lose 20 minutes both ways just getting there.
