Why don’t any of the brothels offer live sex shows in more of a theater setting, where the public could pay a fee to sit and watch performers have sex?

We would like to visit Vegas and see Christmas decorations in all the casinos. Do you know when they’ll be done, especially the Bellagio? Are there any "special" shows just for the Christmas holiday?

As of 01/01/2017 marijuana will be legal. My question is will be legal to smoke weed in a hotel-casino if you request a smoking room?

What is the status of the water levels of Hoover Dam and then Lake Mead? My visit last December, things were looking very dismal for both.

With more and more people using Uber and Lyft, could you please tell us where the pickup and dropoff locations are for each of the casinos on the Strip, as well as Fremont Street and Container Park? We use these services a lot and often the stops are kind of hidden.

On my next trip to Las Vegas, I'm thinking of making a side trip to Zion National Park in Utah with an overnight stay in Mesquite. What's the best place to stay in Mesquite, and when’s the best time of year to visit Zion?

We’re thinking of spending some time in Death Valley next spring during wildflower season. How hot will it be and can you give us some safety tips? (We’re a couple in our 60s, pretty fit, but inexperienced in desert hiking.)

I have visited Las Vegas since 1969 and moved there in 2004, now living in Pahrump since 2009. I mention all these dates for a reason. I recently explored the downtown streets in Las Vegas, searching for a business that I no longer found in the phone book but did exist when I moved to Las Vegas. I was dismayed at the state of the downtown businesses, many closed and in disarray, littered with homeless. It all seems ripe for cheap realty acquisition and renovation of downtown casino businesses. Has all hope abandoned Las Vegas or is there some positive future in the works?

Are there any websites that keep jackpot payout statistics by casino? Particularly jackpots in the million-plus range?

Can you still bypass the line at the Bellagio by sitting at the bar?
