We are coming out to Las Vegas for St Patrick's day. Is there any thing special going on, or is it just like any other weekend?

With so much money and chips laying around, I figure there must be stories of employees trying to steal from casinos, but my boyfriend says there's too much surveillance for anyone to even try an "inside job." Who's right?

Last weekend we saw a new building on the Strip, having something to do with residential sales for some MGM Mirage project. It's just north of New York-New York and we didn't go in, because, believe it or not, we couldn't find the entrance! Can you tell us what the residential sales are?

Where were the first couple of traffic lights in Las Vegas? On the Strip?

I read in the paper the Barbary Coast closed down very suddenly and is now Bill's Gambling Hall. My question is, what happens to the shuttle service between the Coast properties? Where do they originate from? Also, will they keep Michael's open? That was the best gourmet room in town (in my opinion) and I have been going to the Barbary Coast since 1978. I sure do miss the old Vegas ...

I think I've got a question that even the LVA staff might have trouble finding an answer to: I was wondering, of the 35-40 million visitors to Las Vegas a year, what percent are first-timers? I'm guessing only 10-15%.

I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease, which means that I must follow a gluten-free diet (no wheat). My husband and I will be vacationing in Las Vegas this year and I was wondering if there are any restaurants in the area that offer gluten-free items.

Back on 02/25, we ran a QoD featuring the Stardust reminiscences of LVA staff and associated. We asked for your feedback and as usual, plenty of you have responded with your memories, good and otherwise, of this soon-to-be-imploded Las Vegas landmark. Here they are.

Last July we ran a QoD about the history of the Stardust sign -- many people's favorite example of Las Vegas neon. As part of our "Stardust Week," we're running that answer again, in an updated form, in case you missed it the first time.
