I'm a huge fan of your site and I was hoping you could answer a question. Are there any all-inclusive hotels/resorts in Vegas?

Why do the casino pools close so early? When we were in Vegas in May, the temp was 100 and the pools closed at 6 pm. I enjoy a nice hot tub soak at the end of the day, but they are closed.

I've recently read that sliding a $20 tip toward the hotel check-in clerk and asking if there are any "complimentary upgrades" available can help get you a better room. I've never before heard of tipping a check-in person. I'm going to be arriving at Mandalay Bay in just a few days and wonder if this trick really works. Should I try it?

How inclined are Vegas casinos to give a comp (such as a meal, a discounted room, or something more valuable) to a table player who does not have a player's (rating) card?

What Las Vegas Strip properties have the best side-street or back-street entrances ... to avoid the constant foot traffic that blocks and/or slows down Las Vegas Blvd. entrance driveways?

I have read many articles and seen several artist drawings of the new MGM Mirage CityCenter Project and have even walked past the construction site several times, but I have never seen or heard any mention of what is happening to the Jockey Club that seems to sit right in the middle of it? What is its fate?

I remember there used to be a million dollars on display at the Horseshoe. Why is it not there any more?

I live in Las Vegas, and from time to time book hotel rooms for friends, or relatives. It seems quite a few hotels have extra fees that are collected at check-in, and are not included in the room rate. Hotels will call these charges "resort fees," "energy surcharges," etc. Can you please list the hotels that have such fees, and the amounts please?

With the North Strip booming, will the Jolly Trolley make a comeback?

The Tropicana used to feature a Las Vegas history museum and I visited it several times. Was it relocated or just dismantled?
