  We reinvestigate $K^*\Lambda(1116)$ photoproduction off the nucleon target,
based on an effective Lagrangian approach. We include higher nucleon resonances
such as $N(2000)\, 5/2^+$, $N(2060)\,5/2^-$, $N(2120)\,3/2^-$, and
$N(2190)\,7/2^-$, of which the data are taken from the 2012 edition of Review
of Paritcle Physics, in addition to the $t$-channel diagrams ($K$, $K^*$, and
$\kappa$), the $s$-channel nucleon, and $u$-channel hyperon($\Lambda$,
$\Sigma$, and $\Sigma^*$) contributions. We find that the $N(2120)\,3/2^-$ and
$N(2190)\,7/2^-$ resonances are essential in describing the new CLAS data for
charged $K^*$ photoproduction. On the other hand, they rarely affect for
neutral $K^*$ photoproduction.
