How safe is riding the bus on the Strip and downtown?

I'll be heading out to Vegas during the World Cup. Are there any soccer-fanatic bars in Vegas where I should go to catch a game?

Why is it called the "Miracle Mile"? Is there a mile of shopping?

You refer to the new SLS Resort Casino opening Labor Day as a 'boutique' hotel. Can you provide your definition of 'boutique'? Thanks.

I noticed the cover of your new book, The Moneymaker Effect, on the back of this month’s Las Vegas Advisor. The focus on the cover photo is on Chris Moneymaker, of course, but a shadowy guy is in front with his back to the camera. Who is that and what hand are they playing, if you know?

Hi there! I noticed the SLS will have a bar in the middle of the pool, but that it will not be a swim-up bar, which made me wonder if swim-up bars are prohibited? I don't think I've ever seen one in Vegas.

I keep getting an invitation to a free slot contest. I don't play the slots and don't know what is entailed. So, my question is: What is a slot tournament? Is there any skill involved?

Hi. I'm a guy who likes to look good and my friends and I like to get facials before we hit the town. Is there a spa in Vegas that's open all night? Thanks.

We are handicapped. May a person from another state bring their handicap sticker with them and use it on a rental car?

Your QOD regarding past casinos raised a few memories and a couple of questions in my mind. First, I recall a terrific breakfast at the Silver Slipper which I believe would have sat on the lot between the New Frontier and the Stardust, and one of your pictures included Silver City. How many other strip casinos disappeared that were not on the sites of current casinos? Thanks for another thought-provoking QOD.
