My co-workers and I have been expressing a bit of confusion over the offered and rejected brothel tax. Perhaps you could shed some light for those of us who don’t have a firm grasp on the topic. If the brothels want to pay taxes, why does the government refuse?

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

On March 11, 2009, we ran the results of our poll asking for memories of your "Best Ever Time in Vegas." The response was so overwhelming that we could only run a taste of your feedback that day; as promised, here's a whole bunch more.

My bowling team is coming to Vegas in April '09 for the nationals. We're bowling at the Cashman Center. What can you tell me about this site?
