I recently read where the big casinos contracts with the Culinary Union are expiring at the end of May. How are negotiations going? Is any kind of strike expected on the Strip or downtown?

I'm planning to go to the Tropicana in July. When is it going to close and be torn down?

I looked through the archives and couldn't find this referenced: Can you purchase a day pass to pools on the Strip, for those of us who may be staying in a hotel with less then a spectacular pool?

I have another Palms question for you, namely, is there a dress code to enter the Playboy Club and can I use my $50/50% off POV coupon to pay the cover charge?

Tell us again, if you would, about how you can look down from a spot high atop the Palms, clear down to the ground. A small area within the building?

I recently stayed at the Planet Hollywood hotel and wanted to open the window air vents so I could hear the music that plays with the Bellagio fountain show, but there was a sticker near the vents saying "moth season -- please keep vent closed." When I called the front desk, I was told that moths tend to go into the outside opening of the vents and that Bellagio and other hotels have the same problem. I've never seen or heard of this before. Is there really a moth problem?

While playing solitaire on my computer, I noticed an option called "Las Vegas Rules." Was solitaire ever played as a gambling game in Las Vegas?

I can't remember if it was a Question of the Day or a feature in the Advisor, but a few years ago you ran a piece about avoiding traffic on the Strip by taking nearby shortcuts. Can you rerun it, please?

On the Discovery Channel show "Dirty Jobs," Mike Rowe was at a pig farm "just off the Vegas Strip." In a later show he mentioned that the farmer had been offered $75,000,000 for his property and turned it down. Where is the farm and what is it called? Do they offer tours now that they are famous?

What are the meals that card players are now using to get past the long sessions when playing, say 8-12 hours. I heard that one of the card player's wives came up with a diet that gives them a wake-up call.
