I would like to take a helicoptor tour when I visit in April. Are these companies regulated by the state and can you view safety and maintenance records somewhere?

There has been a lot written about room rates in Las Vegas. However, little attention has been paid to car-rental prices, which seem way up to me in Las Vegas and most everywhere else. Adjusting auto-rental fleets is a lot easier than adjusting room numbers. I don't have solid stats, but I'd almost take an even bet that much of the savings due to the hotel glut for John Q. Tourist has been eaten up by auto-rental prices and fees. What say the experts?

Any new info on the new ACE route between the Strip and Downtown? When will it start because I realy miss the express bus route that had only a few stops from Downtown to the Strip.

Flying into Vegas for the New Year's weekend. We will not get into town until 9 p.m .on New Year's Eve. Would we be better off to get a cab or rent a car at that time of night on "that night"? Want to get to the Strip ASAP.

I will be in Vegas in December for two weeks and I want to know if there are day trips by bus that we can take. I heard that there are some that we can take that will take us across state lines.

Can you guys help settle a dispute? I say they call it "The Deuce" bus because it costs two dollars, my friend claims it's because it has two levels. Who's right? One a side note, one day I found a Bible left in the seat - are there people trying to stop us from sinning?

What's the deal with all those "Alien Energy Jerky" billboards on the way out of Vegas on the way to California? What is "alien" jerky?

The last time I was in Vegas, I heard someone ask the driver on the Deuce about buying a three-day pass. The driver said you can't buy one on the bus but you can at other locations. Where can you buy one? We normally buy two or three 24-hour passes during our stay and could take advantage of a three-day pass.

What’s the latest on the bullet train that’s planned to be built between Las Vegas and Southern California?

We will be driving to Laughlin from Vegas on our next trip and after reading your answers to questions on how Laughlin was started and the drive to Reno, we are wondering if there is a drive to Laughlin from Vegas where it would have interesting places like you described in the Reno drive. Does the drive to Laughlin have any worthwhile places to stop or are there any alternate routes, even with more miles, that one could enjoy. I know the distance is only 1/4 of the Reno trip, but we would like to take advantage all Nevada has to offer.
