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?

Can you recommend some sports books and/or bars for (soccer) World Cup viewing? A lot of the games will be at pretty odd hours here. Thanks.

My wife and I recently discoved the "Hooka" or Indian water-pipe. We have a couple of places in our home town that are hooka bars, where you can smoke and get drinks and such. Are there any such places in Las Vegas where we can get our hooka fix?

I loved the QoD you did on the top gay-friendly hotels in Las Vegas; could you please do the same for gay-friendly shows? Thanks!

Last month you mentioned that there would be a media event at the end of May releasing more details about the new Cirque du Soleil/Beatles show LOVE. So, is there any update?

Back on May 18, we ran a QoD for someone looking for Las Vegas songs for their iPod mix. On the day we ran our answer, we were able to add a considerable "Update," thanks to all the feedback we received. But since then, we've received a whole lot more suggestions, which we feel compelled to pass on. So here, in all its glory, is what we believe to be the ultimate list of Las Vegas and gambling songs. Enjoy!
