Like any great Sin City institution, the CineVegas Film Festival augments its visitors' experiences with irrepressible glitz, spectacle, leisure and color. Still, the latter quality can actually be kind of overrated around here, as I discovered over the last few days of observing the festival environs a little more minimally. The stars, showgirls and style are still there, but reduced to black and white, is Las Vegas really the same city? Maybe, maybe not. Judge for yourself with the photo album after the jump.
