On the recommendation of Las Vegas Advisor, my wife and I went to Irene’s to try the breakfast. We opened the door and the cigarette smoke hit us right in the face. We sat down with the intent of eating, but we were overcome by the smoke and left. Please explain how LVA can recommend this establishment, as it is clearly breaking the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act. I have been to many bars, taverns, and restaurants in Las Vegas and this is the only place I have encountered violating the law. I would think a retraction should be forthcoming.

I have heard that at the Bellagio buffet, if you don't want to wait in line, you can jump right past the line and sit at the bar. Is this true and if so how exactly does it work? Do you just walk by and tell the hostess that you want to sit at the bar? Do you still have to pay the cashier in advance? Are there any other buffets where this works? I am a big buffet fan, but hate lines, so this is very interesting knowledge.

Whenever my wife and I visited Las Vegas we always ate at the Garlic Cafe. Whatever happened to it? They Closed and never reopened. Their garlic ice cream was the best I have ever tasted.

We read that there is a place in Vegas that has fried Twinkies. If so where it is ?

Are there any bars or clubs on the Strip that have flair bartending?

Wynn restaurants, including the Terrace Pointe Café and room service, serve the best oatmeal. What's the chance of getting the recipe?

I have asked this of several bartenders and never get a conclusive answer. Why do bartenders tear drink-purchase receipts?

I recently saw an advertisement for Excalibur's new "All You Can Eat All Day Long" buffet for $25. Disregarding my overwhelming feeling of nausea and disgust at the thought of eating that horrible buffet three meals a day, it could be a fun and cheap way for some irresponsibly unhealthy guys to eat through a Vegas binge. How does it work? Do they stamp your hand or give you a ticket to get back in, later in the day? Do you think it’s a bargain? It sounds like the deal of the year to me, since breakfast lunch and dinner would normally cost you around $45.

Las Vegas has the hottest horseradish by far. Each time I ordered the horseradish with my prime rib no matter which restaurant, the horseradish is deliciously hot. Where can I get some online?

Are there any Las Vegas coffee roasters or casino coffee shops that sell whole beans online? I'd love to be able to start my day with coffee Vegas style.
