I started going to Las Vegas in the '80s. I remember one time walking out of a casino and finding a temple in their parking lot. If I remember correctly it was a Hindu or Buddhist temple. What was the story with the temple and what casino did I stumble out of?

We're coming to Vegas soon and our downtown hotel wants $11.95 per day for wireless Internet service. Where are the free wireless hotspots?

One reader writes, "I heard sometime back that the Imperial Palace was going to be imploded last year to make way for a new casino. But I still get fliers and advertisements to stay there. Do you know if and when Imperial Palace is scheduled to be imploded? Also, are there any other casinos that are to be imploded in the future?" Another asks, "Is the Imperial Palace closing down? I have tried to book in September 2008, but this is not possible."

I'm going to be in Vegas for two weeks and will have to do laundry once. Do you know what kind of prices the hotels will charge me to wash? I figure they'll be expensive, so do you know of any laundromats that are within walking distance of the Strip or any place that will pick up and return my laundry at a reasonable price?

In the early '80s the Jockey Club had an excellent bar and a small but very good menu. They built a small casino but it never opened. I know it was a timeshare deal. What's the story behind this whole thing?

You see visitors buying and carrying bottled water. This can become very expensive and -– with not being able to bring a bottle of water through security at McCarran Airport -– big bucks here. Is the bottled water we pay so dearly for just tap water? Is the tap water in Las Vegas good, just OK, or bad?

In your answer to the question on 2/18/08 about the procedures for dealers in the event of a fire or blackout, your source claims that dealers are instructed to sweep up all the bets on the layouts, then surveillance will do a tape review "to verify what belongs to whom." That seems highly unworkable to me. I mean, how long would it take surveillance to review the bets of hundreds of table-game players? And how would they know who everyone was? Would everyone have to come back to the tables and sit exactly where they were in order to be identified? Are the dealers, floor people, or security supposed to take names and numbers during the evacuation? Wouldn't it be a nightmare? Isn't it easier just to have everyone take back their bets and call it a dead hand? Or is the casino so greedy that they grab the money ("for your own protection, of course!") and hope that people won't bother with their last bets?
