Reader Poll Results: On my last trip I got really sick. After reading different symptoms, it may have been Legionnaires Disease. Talking to other people, about 25% had gotten sick in the last 2 years in Las Vegas, which makes me wonder whether the city's getting lax on proper handling of food, or cleaning and checking water sources. So my question is, "How many or you have gotten sick in the past few years when visiting Vegas and if so, with what?"

Long-time Senior Editor Deke Castleman has just returned to Las Vegas -- and Huntington Press (welcome back, Deke!) -- after a few of years living in Ecuador -- about as different an environment to Sin City as you can get. So, we decided to break with tradition and pose him a question of our own.
This addresses some regular queries we receive from readers of this column who haven't visited Las Vegas in awhile, or who are interested in relocating here, but we're particularly intrigued to hear the answers from the perspective of someone who knew Las Vegas intimately, then returned after an extended absence that happened to coincide with a some of the most seismic changes in the city's history, for better and worse. So, Deke, what's it like to be back?
