I just read an article in a European magazine that says that the Las Vegas Strip casinos plan to charge admission and later this year, they’ll implement a Monte Carlo-type fee where you pay a certain amount of money at the door. The article says $20. Can this possibly be true? 

You told us about the current level and projections for Lake Mead, but what about Lake Tahoe? Has this wet winter made a dent in the drought in northern Nevada?

Given the number of storms that have hit the west coast this winter, what has been the impact on Lake Mead? Has the possibility of water rationing in Las Vegas been reduced?

Your recent poll asking about favorite dive bars received less than 600 votes. Some of your previous polls received votes into the 5-digit category. Do you have statistics you could publish to show a listing of polls with the votes received, from least to most popular?

What is the status of the water levels of Hoover Dam and then Lake Mead? My visit last December, things were looking very dismal for both.

How do you get a book published by Huntington Press? Does someone approach the person or do people bring manuscripts to you? Is it mostly well-known people in the gambling world or can a regular person bring a book to you? With that in mind, if you can and are willing to answer, what is the average profit for books and what was best money maker of all time for Huntington?

In your Question of the Day on 10/3/2016, the one about the ladies’ room at the Fremont, you wrote that QoD is now an "all-male province." What happened to long-time QoD-answerer Jessica? And You said that Jessica is gone from the QOD and now it's all male. Too bad. I enjoyed her humor and wit. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new person brings to the column. And My husband and I are going to miss Jessica. We loved her off-the-wall asides and detours to Quirkyland. Her answers were the perfect combination of extensive research and fun.

Today's question on the Wizard of Oz (9/17/2016) brought to mind another answer that compared Las Vegas with other cities through history. I tried searching for it, but I couldn't find it. Or did I imagine it? If not, would you rerun it? Other readers might enjoy reading it again or for the first time.

Can you tell me if crime in Las Vegas for the past five years has gone up or down? Can you list the percentage of crimes: murder, robbery, rape, burglary, stealing (purse snatching, pickpockets, and store thefts), casino cheating, and prostitution? I know that this is a lot to ask, but I think your readers would like to know the answers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
