Pic 1 found in a deviantart gallery along with the same image in your post... Same woman, same glass of wine behind her and a comment from the poster that said "Strat hotel Vegas"
Pic 2 from a travel website showing the rooms at the Stratosphere Same pillow, same lamp, same headboard... etc.
My conclusion, Owner of devianart page is probably the original photog and was telling the truth about the location and even though i couldn't find a matching view I assume that this is indeed Vegas but the photographer didn't spring for the presumably more expensive room overlooking the famous landmarks, and this is the view out behind the strip. Happy to have someone prove a better sleuth than me though. Let me know what you think of my method.

Go to google maps, put yourself on streetview at the intersection of Charleston Blvd and S Las Vegas Blvd. Looking north you see the apartment building, looking south you see the Stratosphere hotel (from where the pic was taken - thanks to the clues from inside the room).

It's a good thing I left that 1% out there, because I was wrong, it is Las Vegas. Thanks to everyone who worked on this job, and also thanks to Crispus, who PM'd me this link:
