In this month's LVA newsletter, with regard to gaming drop, it says the average budget per person, per trip is $481.57. How many days make a trip?

I was just told they are installing tollbooths on the Strip. What is going on? I am a local. I only go down there when friends or family come in and to one casino. We have to pay to go on the Strip?

What’s the story on Key Largo casino? We saw some kind of covert operations happening there with S.W.A.T. teams a couple of weekends ago. Is this just a training site now? Seems dangerous.

My husband and I were driving along on US 50 through central Nevada last week, minding our own business, when we passed a tree out in the middle of nowhere that was filled with pairs of shoes!

In your 4-26-10 QOD...you made the claim, "As for roller coasters, the Canyon Blaster in the Adventuredome at Circus Circus is the largest indoor roller coaster in the world." I have seen it and I can't believe it's larger than the Rock-n-Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios (Disney World) or even Space Mountain for that matter. What would be the track length of the three?

In February we were in Las Vegas and took a bus trip to Laughlin. Our bus driver/tour guide told us that the City of Las Vegas does not get its major supply of water from Lake Mead, but it gets it from an underground river which flows under the City. He also said that the reason Bally's Hotel and Casino is set back from the Street is because, otherwise, it would be sitting on top of the River. Is he correct?

How much of a presence do the armed forces have in Nevada? I know the federal government claims something like 86% of the state, but how much of that is actual military bases and related land?

Can you please PLEASE rerun your answer on money laundering? I missed it last year and I've always wanted to know about it.

We stayed at Mandarin Oriental Dhara Devi in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and are wondering about the one in Vegas. Specifically, we’re curious about the condos in the building, what it’s like to actually live in such a high-life hotel.

How are casino hosts compensated? Do they earn a commission on a player’s theo or actual losses?
