Q:

Where are the nearest supermarkets in relation to the Strip and downtown?

A:

North Strip, e.g. Circus Circus & Sahara
Albertson's or Smith's at the corner of East Sahara and Maryland Pkwy.

Center North Strip, e.g. Venetian & Wynn
Vons at the corner of E. Twain and Cambridge or Albertson's at Spring Mountain and Decatur

Center Strip, e.g. Bally's, Bellagio & Caesars Palace
Albertson's at the corner of E. Flamingo and Maryland Pkwy.

South Strip, e.g. Mandalay Bay & MGM Grand
Vons at the corner of E. Tropicana and Maryland Pkwy. or Smith's at W. Tropicana and Jones

Mid or West Downtown, e.g. Binion's, Golden Nugget & Plaza

If you're missing a particular treat from home, check out the International Marketplace at 5000 S. Decatur Ave., near W. Tropicana. Organized by country, in this vast culinary warehouse you can buy candies from Sweden, soup mix from the Netherlands, soda pop from Japan, and gravy granules from England. There's also a branch of 99 Ranch Market, the Asian specialty supermarket chain, in Las Vegas' Chinatown, located at W. Spring Mountain and Wynn Road. Here you can buy everything from myriad fruit and vegetables to fresh live fish and authentic oyster sauce.

Tomorrow's question

I often see on TV and in the movies a neon sign "graveyard." Where is that located and is it open to the public?
