I'm watching TV and there is a live feed from Black Rock City, Nevada, of the Burning Man. Where is it? How far from Vegas? And WHY?

As a Canadian citizen I understand that any slot win over $1,200 triggers a 1042-S and I've filed a non-resident return three or four times to recover tax money withheld from jackpots. Before my most recent trip, I did some research on the topic and discovered what I thought was the magic form, the W-8BEN. The way I understood it was that if I triggered a 1042-S, all I had to do was hand this form to the payer and they wouldn't take the 30%. When I hit a $4,000 royal, I was pretty excited, for the win and to be able to whip out the magic form. It didn't work! I explained up and down the purpose of the form and was sure it was going to work but the bosses told me, pardon the pun, NO DICE! Eventually, I just had to give it up. I'll get the money back, which will make for a nice windfall in January, but I really thought I had the problem licked. Does anybody know what the actual rules are?

If we only have time for one Cirque du Soleil show, which one should it be?

I'm going to be in Las Vegas for a bachelorette party in October. Where is the best place to take the bride-to-be for her last time out? I hear all about all the places for guys to go, but what is there for women to do?

Heard a rumor that actor Lee Marvin actually fired a shot into Vegas Vic downtown back in the '50s. Is this story true?

Saw a program on TV that showed a Las Vegas wine rack so tall, girls were lifted in a harness to get the bottles from the top. I can't remember what hotel it was in. Can you tell me before we go, so I can check it out?

In the QoD on 08/22/07, you said the Russian Mafia has been involved in extorting money from online gambling sites. How is this possible? To extort money from someone you have to have something over them don't you?

I read somewhere that the Coast properties give you slot club points on the dollars you win on a machine, not the dollars you put in the machine like most casinos do. That doesn’t seem fair to not get any points if you lose.

In July or August 1983, we drove our Winnebago to Las Vegas. I say we stayed in an RV park at the Hacienda. My wife says we stayed at the El Rancho. We'd like to know who is washing the dishes next week.

I recently talked to a friend who said that he heard that somewhere on the Strip is a place where you can get discounts to all the major shows on the day of the shows. Where is it?
