We report on pre-outburst optical (VRIHalpha) and near-infrared (NIR; JHKs) imaging observations of the field containing the newly discovered transient accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar IGR J17498-2921 (ATel #3551). The observations were done with the Mosaic (optical) and ISPI (NIR) cameras on the CTIO-4m Blanco telescope as part of our X-ray and optical/NIR Bulge Latitude Survey. The optical images were taken on 2008 May 10.
