I live on the East Coast, but have an upcoming Vegas trip scheduled for late April and am staying downtown. I was wondering if there were any updates regarding when the new Fremont Street White Castle location will be opening?

I’ve always been fascinated that someone could make their living gambling, so I was wondering how changes over the past 25 years have affected the number of professional video poker players in Las Vegas. I would guess that professional play on the Strip has long become untenable, but has play off the Strip also tightened in any way to significantly reduce the number of people who make a living playing VP? If so, could anyone estimate how much of a % decrease there has been in that time frame?

Part 2 of the post Star Trek Las Vegas Hilton

I really loved it when the Star Trek Experience was at the Las Vegas Hilton. It seemed to me that there were always a lot of people there, and to some, like me, it was the primary reason we came to Vegas. (1) What happened to The Experience? Why did Paramount yank it? And (2) What happened to the LV Hilton? After the ST:E left, it seemed the hotel-casino went downhill. What happened to this once proud property that once hosted Elvis' return?

Are all hotels in Las Vegas going non-smoking?

I went to book the Golden Nugget and the request for smoking rooms doesn’t appear and I also saw some option to pay an additional $20 per day for that option. We will be arriving April 23 so we need to know our options.

I am going to stay at the Fiesta Henderson in May. I need to know about how much the cab fare is from McCarran Airport. I have researched some sites and the prices have ranged from $45 to $60 (excluding tip). I really wouldn't know if I was being long hauled since this is my first trip to Henderson. Any suggestions you have will be most appreciated. 

If I wanted to have a bankroll of $3,000-$5,000 for gambling, but didn't want to travel with the cash, what is the least costly option to get money? Will the casino cages cash a large check? Wiring ahead could cost $20 or more. ATM withdrawals usually have daily limits. And I'm visiting in April and I hate carrying a lot of cash. Can I deposit a few thousand with a casino host where I'm staying and gamble off that and withdraw some money when I need it? Also can I just transfer from my bank to the casino and use them like a bank? I'm a new visitor and wondering how something like this works or am I stuck using the ATMs and their exorbitant fees.

I recently heard that the MGM Grand was (or is) going to be totally off the grid -- is that true or even possible?

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for this special announcement.
