Regarding yesterday's Question of the Day. The writer is correct, in that the residents voted in an increase in the sales tax about 10 years ago. You didn't address his question but assumed this new increase is what he was speaking of. I, too, often wondered what became of that increase.

I lived in Las Vegas for 11 years, until 2006, and seem to remember that a slight increase in sales tax (1/4 cent?) was voted on and approved, all of which was to go for more police protection. Your recent QoD implied that there is a shortage of police. What's the deal?

Happy Easter!

Since the Liberace Museum closed, where do they keep and protect the cars and pianos and other items?

After looking at some old vacation videos, I was wondering what the reasons were for the closing and subsequent demolition of both Wet 'N Wild and also the Scandia Fun Center.

During the early '90s, I vaguely remember the Mount Charleston Hotel being shut down (seized by the Feds?) Am I imagining this or did it happen?

Further to the Jan. 14 Question of the Day, are there any entertainers/celebrities who, because of because of their disgraceful behavior or antics, are pretty much barred from Las Vegas?

Yesterday, you wrote that the SkyVue observation wheel and amusement park had been "abandoned"? Can you explain how it happened and what will become of the site?

With the old Sky Vue property up for sale, I was wondering whatever happened to the roller coaster Speed: The Ride? Is it still on the property, in pieces? Is it included in the property sale? And is there any possibility of someone resurrecting that ride?

How close is the new "Eating Las Vegas" book to being ready? I absolutely loved the earlier renditions.
