I just finished reading Beneath the Neon, which will always make me think twice about what –- or who –- might be under my favorite resorts. Is there much reaction to the book in Las Vegas? It would seem to me that law enforcement might be concerned about more people exploring the drains as a result of the book – and certainly it seems like a security risk for it all to be so easily accessible.

I read the recent QoD about ways to stay cool in Las Vegas. I know about the ice bar and the Vodka Locker at Mandalay Bay, but I'm intrigued by the "ice spa" at Caesars that you mentioned. Does snow really fall from the ceiling?

Are there any specials in town for all the military folks that visit? My friends and I are looking at doing a trip out there in November as a diversion from Nav School.

Years ago I always heard that Las Vegas wasn't a very welcoming place for gay and lesbian travelers. Has that changed?

I have been looking for the Terrible's McDonalds ever since they featured it on the Travel Channel program "Las Vegas Top 10 Bathrooms." Could you possibly give me an address so that I may visit there in June, 2007? The only directions I have are that it is around the I-15 near I-95. I have so far been unsuccessful for about seven trips over the past three years.

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.

I am from a small town and have never used valet parking before. I will have a rental car while in Vegas and wanted to know if you can use the valet parking at a hotel on or off the Strip that you do not have a room at. Also, please explain proper etiquette for using the valet service.

This is an off-the-wall question, but do any of the spas in Las Vegas have oxygen bars or, for that matter, are there any oxygen bars on the Strip? A friend and I tried one at the Mall of Americas in Minnesota and loved it. We are coming to Vegas in November so wanted to know if their are any there?

My family and I will be in Las Vegas in late July. Unfortunately, my wife has a problem with heat. What cool things are there to do during the day?

You get a lot of questions concerning tips. I once heard that "TIP" is an acronym for "To insure promptness" and was generally paid in advance of the meal in Europe. Any truth to this?
