I was in Las Vegas two weeks ago and bought an all-day pass for the three rides on the top of the Stratosphere. Which were great but when I was leaving one of the shop workers told me that they have a new ride approved for the near future where you can jump off the top and go all the way to the ground. Can you tell me if this is true, and when will it be open and just how it will work because I am ready to book my next trip back to Las Vegas.

We know that, as in many cities, Las Vegas restaurants are routinely expected by the Health Department, and we've seen letter grades posted in individual restaurants. Is there an online listing for all restaurants in the area showing inspection scores and reports.

I read the QoD every day … you folks do a terrific job. I was wondering how many casinos exist in the United States. I remember the old days when one had to go to Nevada to visit a casino. Today, casinos seem to be almost everywhere. Could you list the number of casinos by state and the number in each state that are owned by Native American tribes?

I just read from another poker blog from Lee Jones that effective 12/14 there will not be a hotel or a coffee shop at the Horseshoe Hotel in downtown Las Vegas, but they’re keeping the poker room. It doesn’t make sense to me to eliminate the hotel, but keep the poker room. What will be happening to the hotel?

I will be in Las Vegas the second week of January and would like to visit the pawn shop featured on "Pawn Stars," the TV show on The History Channel. Can you give me the location?

Which casinos do you think will be impacted the most when the CityCenter opens with its 5,000-plus rooms?

The Showtime series "Bullsh!t!" goes off on John Edward in a big way! Yet he works for Harrah's corporation at the Flamingo. Has any real-life conflict happened as a byproduct of this "co-worker" relationship?

I was reading my pilfered copy of Wynn magazine today, and noticed it is a Greenspun publication; a sister to Vegas magazine, among others. This made me wonder how large the circulation of Wynn is and how it compares to Vegas and other specialty Las Vegas magazines?

I’ve got a bet with a friend of mine. I say that the old Silver City Casino was entirely smoke free at one time. I know it’s not there any longer. It was located just a short walk from the Riviera. Help me on this one if you can.

Flying into Vegas for the New Year's weekend. We will not get into town until 9 p.m .on New Year's Eve. Would we be better off to get a cab or rent a car at that time of night on "that night"? Want to get to the Strip ASAP.
