We'll be in Vegas for Halloween this year, and are having a hard time finding out if there are going to be any special shows or events going on that night. I understand that many of the nightclubs hold costume parties, but what else happens in Vegas for Halloween? The holiday just seems like such a natural fit for the city!

I proposed to my girlfriend in front of the Bellagio fountains and I would like to know if they keep track of what songs they play each day, because I would like to know what song was playing at the time. The date was May 17, 2006, and it happened right after the hockey game ended. The game ended at 8:43 pm MST. We walked over from the Mirage sportsbook to the fountains right after the game. Thanks!

Before buying tickets for show, where can you find seating plans for O, Lance Burton etc.?

We used to enjoy visiting the Ocean Spray cranberry juice factory, the Kidd marshmallow factory, and the Ron Lee clown factory in Henderson. Are they still there? Landmarks have changed so much, we can't find anything.

I heard somewhere that it is possible to have your picture taken with a lion cub at MGM. If so, how and where can this be done?

Thank you for the recent answer on Death Valley. But how about something a little closer to Las Vegas? From reading the guidebooks, I see that the two big parks nearby are Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire. Which do you recommend?

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?
