When I went to the casino in Tampa, I was told that they could not comp drinks at the bar like in Las Vegas because they were not an Indian casino even though I was playing video poker at the bar. Are the Seminoles the owners of the casino? What are the restrictions to comp drinks? This was the same reason given to me at the Oxford Casino in Maine. They comp drinks in Connecticut at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. What are the reasons for not comping the drinks?

What happened to Master Sushi Chef Gen Mizoguchi, after he abruptly in the spring left what we believe was LV's best-value high-end sushi restaurant, Kabuto? Many of us were (and still are) hoping he took off to regroup before opening a new (even better) Edomae Sushi eatery in the valley, but scouring the Internet has to-date generated zero information about his whereabouts. We very much miss Gen-San and his unique, distinctive style of sushi and of interacting with his customers. Please help!

I read that the LVCVA is launching more ads based around "What Happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". How long has that slogan been around – and can any one person claim credit for it?

I understand that in Nevada, qualified electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) may use designated HOV lanes regardless of the number of occupants in the vehicle. But do you have to have a Nevada license plate to take advantage of this privilege? Can out-of-state visitors to Nevada in green vehicles use those lanes during rush hour too?

I gather you (we) are in for another round of construction around the Spaghetti Bowl. I hadn’t heard about that and I was a little surprised, since it seems like we just finished living through years of freeway construction. Didn’t they do the job right the first time?

Is there a company that offers a half-day tour of the city?

I'll be in Las Vegas during the 8-day festival of Hannukah (starts on 12/16) and was wondering if some casino buffets still offer a Hannukah buffet during that time? I remember seeing ads for Station Casinos Hannukah buffets in past years.

We will be having a reunion in Vegas this spring. We will need about 25 rooms. What is the best way to negotiate a deal on rooms, and what hotels can you suggest on the Strip to accommodate a group of 50 or so people?

I was wondering what is the status of the iconic Blue Angel? Is she still standing guard over the motel? I make a trip out that way on the bus every time I'm in Las Vegas to see her. I'm not certain what makes her so special to me but I just love going by and seeing her. I hope that if taken down, the statue will be erected somewhere else where people can still go by and see her.

In Wisconsin, we are being told that the Florida Seminole Tribe owns the Hard Rock branding for casinos. Who owns the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas? Does the Seminole Tribe own any other Hard Rock casinos?
