I read a little mention in our local newspaper about a big gun park that just opened in Las Vegas. Is this some sort of tourist attraction? Or is there really a 3,000-acre shooting range in the city?

Merry Christmas!

My wife and I are moving to Vegas and would like to learn a second language. With visitors traveling from places all around the world, what do you feel would be the best second language to learn? One that we would use most often if we worked for a casino.

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.

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?
