Are there any resources/sites/blogs regarding living in Las Vegas? I’m moving there in less than a month!

Any idea what happened to the large stained-glass decoration that was part of Barbary Coast and then Bill’s Gambling Hall, but was disassembled for the Cromwell renovation? It was one of the last bits of vintage Las Vegas at the corner of Flamingo and the Strip.

My friends and I are seniors and only play nine holes of golf. Which of the local courses can we play?

When I used to come to Vegas with my family in the 1950s. I remember how strict it was that children under 21 years were not allowed in the casino area. There were uniformed guards at all entrances, ready to tell you to leave. Today there is very little evidence of security. I see small children in the casino areas all the time. What gives?

The early history of Circus Circus seems to be hard to access for me. Did they really have a slide as the entry and an admission fee?

Three hotel-casinos I visited recently, Aria, Mandarin Oriental and Vdara, have a very distinctive interior fragrance that makes me remember each hotel separately. What are the reasons for why hotels have fragrances now? Is this done on purpose? And what is the name of the fragrance from each of these hotels? Can guest have them at home, too?

Following the HUGE response to our Reader Poll on what type of fellow gambler most annoys you, we opted to run your feedback as a QoD, since there was just too much for the allowable space on the Poll Results page -- and congrats to you all for the imaginative designations! Never mind the "season of goodwill": Get it off your chests, people (although we don't want to wreck any marriages -- see below!) We have retained your use of our original CAPITAL LETTERS for added ANGER emphasis :-)

When I went to the casino in Tampa, I was told that they could not comp drinks at the bar like in Las Vegas because they were not an Indian casino even though I was playing video poker at the bar. Are the Seminoles the owners of the casino? What are the restrictions to comp drinks? This was the same reason given to me at the Oxford Casino in Maine. They comp drinks in Connecticut at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. What are the reasons for not comping the drinks?

I understand that in Nevada, qualified electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) may use designated HOV lanes regardless of the number of occupants in the vehicle. But do you have to have a Nevada license plate to take advantage of this privilege? Can out-of-state visitors to Nevada in green vehicles use those lanes during rush hour too?

I'll be in Las Vegas during the 8-day festival of Hannukah (starts on 12/16) and was wondering if some casino buffets still offer a Hannukah buffet during that time? I remember seeing ads for Station Casinos Hannukah buffets in past years.
