I read recently that next year they are redoing the pedestrian bridges on the Strip between New York-New York, MGM Grand and the Tropicana because they were over 20 years old which brings me several questions. How did the pedestrian bridge system come to be? How old is it? Why are there bridges at some locations and not others and how is this decided?

What percentage of fares are picked up by cabs at the airport compared to the amount picked up from the Strip/Fremont street? Are Uber cars allowed to pick up at the airport and, if so, how does one call for one?

Why is the year 1922 used on the coins represented in the "welcome" letters on the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign?

Has The Park near New York-New York opened yet? I haven't seen any news about it since 2014.

How many CVS and Walgreen stores are now on the Strip? Are there that many "sick" people visiting or what? I have read reviews of hotels on the Strip and comments such as "Walgreen's is just across the street." As a side note a recent QOD mentioned a CVS might be going in the old Las Vegas Club - true?

Okay, time for a sober question: Has anyone ever inquired about what percentage of weekend visitors attend some type of religious services during their stay in Las Vegas?

Explain the rules for cashing in chips from a closed casino, in particular Las Vegas Club, please.

Are there any night tours of Hoover Dam?

We were thinking about staying at the Circus Circus RV campground. With no car, how safe is it to ride a bike on the Strip? Do the casinos have parking for them?

Several years ago there was a house given away, in a section of Las Vegas called Springfield. I`m not sure of any further location info as I'm from the east coast. Anyway, the home was fashioned after the Simpson's House -- garish colors, weird front door to accommodate Marge`s hairdo. Without revealing any info that should remain private, could you share the story in this column? And did the folks who won have it repainted. (I recall this was an option available to the winner).
