"You've piqued our interest. Please give us a biography of Mojo, the company-mascot iguana. Any pictures available? And when is Little Mojo due? Or, as another reader put it: "If you've had one and only one iguana in the office for eight years, how in the hell did it get pregnant? Do the children resemble some other breed of animal? Is there ANYTHING that doesn't happen in Vegas?" Or: "So, who knocked up the iguana?"

The Las Vegas Valley is prone to flash floods. Have there been instances where transients were washed out of or drowned in the elaborate storm-drain system?

I live in Canada and found a tito cash ticket from my last trip to Las Vegas. The ticket is worn from being in my wallet (unnoticed) and is 11 months old. If I do not get back to Las Vegas, what, if anything can I do? I believe you answered this question awhile back, but I missed reading that answer. Thank you.

My wife is addicted to Diet Coke, to the point where we have to plan our trips around which casinos serve Coke products or someplace close to a "quickie mart" where she can buy Coke products. Why does it appear that Vegas is such a Pepsi-dominated town, and just for fun what volume (compared to a small ocean) of Coke or Pepsi is consumed in Vegas in a year?

Don't any of the pools on the Strip have an indoor pool? I would love to come in the winter, but I want to be able to swim.

I have been told that the "nuts" hand in no-limit Texas hold 'em originated when a gambler actually removed the nuts from his wagon to bet on his "winning hand." Is this true? If not true, where did the term origionate?

My question is about slot machines. Thirty years ago when I first started vacationing in Las Vegas, slots were little more than an afterthought, exiled to the far corner of the casino where little old ladies with coin buckets and dirty fingers pulled handles and went cross-eyed from watching the reels spin. Today, they occupy well more than half the casino. To what do you attribute the increase in the popularity of machine games?

Ah, now you've piqued my curiosity. Regarding the old catwalks (QoD 12/21/08), you say, " ... and the risk of surveillance personnel falling over the edge (it did happen, but that’s another story)." So what is the other story?

What can you tell us about the recent appearance of the historic snowfall in Las Vegas? Any pictures?

In the Fast Track section of the January Advisor, there was a short blurb about a new controversy involving the IRS, the casinos, and the Culinary union. Can you explain the background of the tip-reporting deal that the blurb referred to? Thanks.
