Now that the El Sombrero has closed, what are the three oldest restaurants in Las Vegas?

Why has MGM players club stopped letting you move from one hotel to another on their deals? For over 15 years we have stayed at MGM Grand for three free nights, then packed and moved to New York-New York for three free nights. And now they say NOPE! Flying all the way from East Coast to Vegas and only staying three nights does not make "cents." We still gamble, buy food, and see shows, so we don't feel MGM is losing money on a room that would be empty anyway. Bad move and would love to know the reason behind it.

Any update on the possible strike at the downtown casinos?

I'll be coming to Vegas in May and I like to perform stand-up at open mic nights. Are you aware of any bars/clubs/etc. that hold open mic nights, specifically for comedy and not music or poetry?

I seem to remember seeing documentaries of the building of the Venetian hotel and also one on the behind-the-scenes operations of the Rio. I have tried to find them but have had no luck. They could have been produced by the Discovery or Travel Channel. Can you help? Thanks.

I know this isn't so much about Vegas, but it’s about a city that probably doesn't exist without Las Vegas. I have driven to Las Vegas 100+ times in my life from the greater L.A. area. I pass through Barstow, which is a big enough city/area to support the people there as far as homes, grocery stores, hospital, and even a Community College. Once I pass Barstow, nothing really exists for 60 miles until I get to Baker, a "city" that is but a few miles long and not very wide. I have never seen anything but restaurants and gas stations there and anything to suggest people can live there full-time. So where do the people who work in Baker actually live? Barstow is 60-ish miles away as is Primm so where do those who work in Baker actually live?

I have stayed at many hotels in Vegas over the past 30 years and recall that only one swimming pool, at Bally's, is deeper than 4 feet. Are there any other pools at hotels that are similar to Bally's, which was over 6 feet deep in some places?

If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they make replacement parts for the Sigma Derby horse-racing machine?

Now that all the brouhaha has settled down, how is Britney Spears' show at Planet Hollywood doing? Is it making the money that they hoped?

I heard somewhere that there is a fault in the western part of Las Vegas valley. Has there ever been a quake of any significance? What are the chances of one?
