How likely are we to find the show tickets we want at the discount booths along the Strip? What are the shows most likely to be available?

My friend and I will be in Las Vegas from 10/30-11/3. We are Plein Air painters and would like to hook up with local area artists who also paint outdoors. Do you have any local art associations we can contact? If not, where do you suggest for the best scenic spots?

Do you know of any comprehensive listing of brew pubs in the Las Vegas area? Also, any bar/pubs that would offer 50 or more different beers? Variety is the spice (or hops) of life! Thanks.

I will be visiting Las Vegas in November and wanted to make a side trip to visit Death Valley. Is a November trip worth it, or should I wait to make a summer trip to get the full Death Valley Experience?

I've heard there's a school for strippers in Las Vegas. Is this true?

Thanks for your answer on -- and the beautiful photographs of -- the Joshua tree (7/9/06). My husband is an amateur photographer and he'd like to go into the desert to get some shots of them, but I'm a little afraid of the desert, especially in the summer. If something happens out there, what should we do to survive?

It seems there's never any information on establishments with dart boards, pool tables, shuffleboard, Golden Tee golf machines, pinball, etc. As adults we like that stuff sometimes, but don't know the bars in Vegas that offer these games and are okay to attend. Could you list maybe ten places, please?

When is the Las Vegas Film Festival? My boyfriend just graduated from film school and we’re taking a trip to Las Vegas to celebrate, and I thought it would be fun to see some indie movies with him.

I read the story about the helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon in the June Advisor and wondered if you know anything about the glass observation platform that's supposedly being built over the canyon. Any inside scoop on this?

We're headed to Las Vegas the 4th of July weekend - we thought it was really hopping there then, but cannot seem to find any details of events on the Internet. In fact, there seem to be less events than normal that weekend. What goes on the weekend of the 4th and will there be fireworks somewhere?
