I will be coming to Las Vegas at the end of May and I will be driving in and staying on the Strip. Since I will have my own vehicle I was wanting to explore some other casinos off the Strip. I was wondering if you could recommend a few "local" casinos to see, play, and eat at?

My wife is highly sensitive to various fragrances, which trigger an immediate migraine. We have noticed that more and more hotels are using some kind of fragrance in their public areas. We were booked for 4 nights at ARIA but left after one night (awesome rooms though). We went to M Resort but never made it their buffet. We had to turn around and leave because the fragrance was so strong. The list goes on and on. Why do these properties do this?

I have a question regarding your show coupons. Are you able to use the coupon to book show tickets ahead of time or do you just need to go to the box office the day of the show?

With all of the hysteria over the radiation coming to the West Coast from the Japanese nuclear power plant, I was wondering how the levels of radiation from the atomic blasts around Las Vegas in the 1950s compare to the levels of radiation coming from Japan?

In August of 1991, my husband and I were in Vegas for our honeymoon. We had dinner at a restaurant across from The Mirage. We can't remember the name. It served steaks and huge whole lobsters. It was very good. Do you know what happened to it and what was the name of it? Thanks.

In 1985 we started going to Las Vegas. We used to go on gambler sprees and stay at the Riv, where we would see the show Crazy Girls with a girl names Joana (?) that we found out later was a man. The show was great - I would give it a 9 out of 10 -- but last year I took a friend expecting it to be good and it was terrible -- a 2 out of 10, only because the girls were beautiful. What ever happened to Jahana the impersonator MC? She/he was great.

I know this isn't exclusive to Las Vegas but have always wondered how is it that the nightclubs, pools, etc. are able to charge women less money to get in than men? Isn't this blatant discrimination?

We started going to Vegas in 1995. At that time there was a showgirl named Aki. It seemed at that time showgirls were very popular. If I remember right she even had her image painted on an airplane. What ever happened to her?

Today, we're killing two QoDs with one answer. Firstly: "Where has Clint Holmes gone? What has he been doing? Is he planning on becoming a headliner again in a Las Vegas casino?" And secondly: "I remember that piano bars were very popular at Strip hotel-casinos and in particular, loved listening to Denise Clemente. I haven't seen her playing anywhere in Las Vegas for some time and wonder where she is playing now."

Your question of the day about the biggest robberies at casinos reminded me of the story concerning a shoot-out at the Stardust's sports book several years ago. Did that really happen and what are the details.
