Las Vegas seems like a good city for renting a bicycle or a moped to get around on. It's flat. The streets are wide and most seem to have sidewalks. There are so many tourists that bike and moped rental agencies must be common. And if so, rental prices must be reasonable. Is this correct?

I saw on an old Casino Diaries episode that comps are computed by a percentage of your "expected loss," given your average bet, number of hands, and house advantage. Suppose three players walk up to a blackjack table, buy in for $10,000, and play $100 a hand for one hour. One goes broke, one wins $10,000, and one breaks even. Theoretically, all earn the same "comp value." However, in real life, wouldn't the casino give the standard comp to the breakeven player, a larger comp to the player who lost the $10,000, and the biggest comp to the player who won?

We're coming to Vegas in October and are wondering what the check-cashing policy is in Las Vegas. I do not want to carry a lot of cash and travelers checks can be a pain. I would like to go into a casino and cash a check for $500 and then if I need more, can I cash another check in a different casino on the same day? Here in Illinois, the casinos all seemed to be linked to a service and you can only cash checks for up to $499.

Every time we're in Las Vegas, we make it a point of having a drink at the bar at the Ranch Steakhouse, at the top of Binion's. The ride up in the glass elevator we think is one of the great free thrills in town. Are there any other glass elevators that go to the top floors of Las Vegas hotels?

I've been watching the World Series of Blackjack on cable and I can't figure out what's going on sometimes. I know blackjack basic strategy but the players, especially in the final rounds, make some crazy plays, like doubling down on hard 19 and standing on 16 against a 10. Can you tell me why?
