We are planning a trip to Hugo's Cellar in 4 Queens in early April. I have read reviews and am noticing the food quality is their "weak spot." Tell me this isn't true.

With the current economy, it looks more and more like Echelon Place will NEVER be completed. How long do the building permits last and, if they expire, can the city demand the finished portion to be torn down? It only seems logical that all permits would have some kind of "reasonable progress to completion" clause that would require some movement by the builders. The north end of the Strip is looking more and more like a trash heap.

I've wondered about a very large Big Six wheel I saw on a Travel Channel "Las Vegas" Special. It looked to be about 20 feet tall. I want to know what the story is. Where was it? How big? etc. I recently saw the show again and noticed the shot immediately preceded a shot with Anthony Curtis in it, so I know you've seen it. What's the deal?

Could somebody please tell me what "bottle service" is.

I just want to know whether MGM Mirage can issue a statement to confirm or deny this -- and, more importantly, if it's so, will it be added retrospectively to bookings already made?

In addition to having fun in Vegas, I have been to many conventions and conferences in Vegas over the years. Between the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Sands Expo Center, the Mandalay Convention Center and all the various hotels on the strip and around town does anyone know how many square feet of convention space there actually are in Vegas?

Often I read about the casinos of the Boulder Strip and North Las Vegas. Would you give us a list of which casinos are in each area. I'm confused.

To the best of my knowledge, neither Frank Sinatra nor Dean Martin were ever Flamingo headliners. I don't think any of the Rat Pack was, but I'm not sure. So, why was the new Rat Pack star on the Las Vegas Walk Of Fame placed in front of the Flamingo?

What are the top employers (in terms of people employed) in the casino industry in Las Vegas?

Can you tell me how to get current lines for games during the March Madness tournament?
