I've eaten at the Cafe Bleu restaurant and am wondering if there are any other culinary schools in Vegas that also have a restaurant? I've heard of the Culinary Institue Academy in North Las Vegas. Does it have a restaurant? If so, when is it open and can you tell me anything about the menu they offer?

I notice in this month's issue of the Advisor that after Ellis Island increased the price of the steak dinner from $4.95 to $6.95, it's no longer in the Top Ten Values. How long did the Ellis Island steak stay in the Top Ten?

I know there are many fine dining experiences available in town for dinner, but most are not open for lunch. What restaurants offer an "upscale" lunch?

Saw a program on TV that showed a Las Vegas wine rack so tall, girls were lifted in a harness to get the bottles from the top. I can't remember what hotel it was in. Can you tell me before we go, so I can check it out?

As I was looking at your Web site under buffets I noticed you gave a ranking of 9.8 to the Circus Circus brunch. What could possibly justify a rank that high at a dive like that?

I heard there is a bar in Las Vegas made of ice. Is this true?

We will be in Vegas this August. We would like to know if you have any suggestions for a very romantic-setting fine-dining restaurant on Fremont Street.

Why is it so hard to get a Dr. Pepper in Las Vegas? For a soda so well loved in most parts of the country, this city is a ghost town.

We are frequent travelers to LV from the East Coast and have many friends and relatives that love the trip to LV as well. One of the many things we all look forward to is the food. In particular, the horseradish! The majority of our group is of Polish heritage and horseradish is a common staple of the Polish cuisine (as well as Frank's hot sauce). Can we find out what brand horseradish the casinos use (we commonly stay at Bellagio or Mirage) at their buffets and if we can purchase it somehow? It would be an ideal gift idea for most of my family at Xmas time.

My wife is a crab-leg-crazed person. We are going to Vegas for our 18th anniversary and would like to know where the best seafood buffet in town is.
