Poll : 30 January - 12 February 2008

Analysis

Whoaa! The latest poll garnered no less than 13,652 votes from a total of 2,324 individual voters. The good news is that we have a whole heap of information on our site that you want; the not-so-good news is that you didn’t know we had it, or if you did, where to find it.

Even though we now direct QoD and Poll readers to our home page, a lot of people don’t seem to venture beyond those areas, possibly with the exception of a quick foray into Today’s News. From those who do know what LasVegasAdvisor.com has to offer, we hear over and over that it’s an invaluable resource for their trip planning. We have a dedicated research department constantly working to update our content, from free shuttle schedules to WiFi hotspots, buffet prices to poker tournaments, and pride ourselves on being a one-stop-shop for pretty much everything you could want to know about Las Vegas. But you have to know where to look for the info and, evidently, a lot of you out there don’t, which is why a poll like this is invaluable to us in helping to craft our site to better suit your needs.

We’re already on our fourth major incarnation Web-wise and it’s always a work in progress. We like our current look but we think it could be easier to navigate and more intuitive, so we’re in the midst of working on a subtle but significant redesign, for which your feedback via this poll will be invaluable.

In the meantime, here are some tips for what’s currently where:

"Stay" section: Hotel list and contact numbers; room-booking service; all you need to know about transportation; WiFi hotspots and hotel Internet charges; pet-friendly accommodation; RV parks; and childcare.

"Play" is where you’ll find all our gambling info: Casino list; where to find the current best video poker; slot club bonus points; current MegaJackpot levels; tournament schedules; non-smoking areas; and a whole bunch of other useful stuff.

"Eat" section: Buffets (including times, prices, and reviews) and restaurants (including late-night dining options and info. on special dietary requirements like vegetarian-friendly eateries and restaurants with gluten-free menus).

"See & Do": Currently includes everything from shows (including reviews and a booking service); upcoming events (concerts, wine tastings, fashion shows, fights etc.); golf; spas; tours; shopping; attractions and more.

"Party": Kind of speaks for itself, but in addition to nightclubs and strip clubs did you know we also list lounges, ultralounges, cool bars, sports bars, cigar lounges, karaoke, pubs & microbreweries, wine bars, and gay and lesbian nightlife?

"Visitor Info": This section in the blue left-hand menu contains all kinds of cool stuff we bet you didn’t know we had, including wedding chapels, webcams, convention dates, first aid info, FAQs, radio stations, the ultimate guide to tipping, and the weather.
