What happened to the roller coaster atop the Stratosphere?

I would love to do a cigar bar crawl -- maybe with cigar factory tours -- during the day, then enjoy various piano bars at night. (Going off-Strip and/or away from downtown would be okay.) You commented on this in March 2006; could you please print an update?

My little blues & soul band is looking to relocate and find a regular playing gig in Vegas. We may also require day jobs - any tips or suggestions for finding work in Vegas, as well as what skills or experience are most sought-after in and around Vegas?

Our family has a trip planned to Vegas over the Easter weekend and we were told we won't be allowed downtown most of our stay unless we have rooms there because of a car race on city streets. What gives?

My sister and I are planning to go to Las Vegas this year. She is hearing impaired and would like to go see the shows. It has to be something very visual and not geared to music or comedy, something like Blue Man Group. What else do you suggest?

We're planning a surprise 40th birthday party for a friend in 2008 and want to celebrate it at a lounge/club/restaurant that has an outdoor terrace with a Strip view. We know of Voodoo Lounge, Pure, and Tangerine. What others have a great view of the Strip?

I have heard there's a huge aquarium in the Forum Shop area of Caesars Palace. Since my son loves fish and owns several (much smaller!) aquariums, are there any other fish-tanks of interest in the town?

Awhile back, someone asked about the new casinos for 2007. I would also like to know about the new attractions for 2007.

What's going on in Las Vegas for Valentine's Day? Any special meals or romantic suggestions for a visiting couple?

I'm only 23 but I'm a huge fan of the Beatles. I've heard mixed reviews of LOVE, the Beatles and Cirque show at the Mirage. A friend of mine saw it and said it sucked. I'm coming to Vegas next month with my girlfriend and I'm thinking I should reserve tickets, but I don't want to spend $200 for a show I'll be disappointed in or my girlfriend won't like. What do you suggest
