Our family has a trip planned to Vegas over the Easter weekend and we were told we won't be allowed downtown most of our stay unless we have rooms there because of a car race on city streets. What gives?

The World Series of Poker bracelets, who makes them? What do they cost and what are their metal and stone makeup?

My sister and I are planning to go to Las Vegas this year. She is hearing impaired and would like to go see the shows. It has to be something very visual and not geared to music or comedy, something like Blue Man Group. What else do you suggest?

We're planning a surprise 40th birthday party for a friend in 2008 and want to celebrate it at a lounge/club/restaurant that has an outdoor terrace with a Strip view. We know of Voodoo Lounge, Pure, and Tangerine. What others have a great view of the Strip?

My mother loved to go to Las Vegas when she was alive. She always remembered a restaurant called the Green Shack, where she claimed to know the owner. I haven’t been able to find anything about it. Can you help?

I just heard that Hooters has been sold. Is that true and if so, who bought it?

I have heard there's a huge aquarium in the Forum Shop area of Caesars Palace. Since my son loves fish and owns several (much smaller!) aquariums, are there any other fish-tanks of interest in the town?

Awhile back, someone asked about the new casinos for 2007. I would also like to know about the new attractions for 2007.

My question is on the new advertising "billboards" for Toni Braxton and LOVE. They must be computer generated, but how are they installed so that they do not obscure the views of the windows they appear to be "painted" on? What company does this? Do you know how much they cost?

I found an old gaming chip from the long-gone Marina Hotel. What was its history, and what replaced it on the Strip?
