Is it true you're the longest-staying guest in the history of the Rio (as per @LVA_Tweet? If so, please provide some juicy details!

I was thinking of staying at the Monte Carlo the beginning of August. However what is the situation with the building work there? Is there much noise from the AEG Arena being built at the back? Is the front entrance open to the Strip? How is the Park affecting the casino? I would appreciate an update on everything going on there and a few photos of the front if possible. Thanks!

What is your take on locals using hotel valets for long term (seven-14 days) while on vacation? Seems like parking at a hotel and then a short cab ride to McCarran is an economical solution to going to the airport.

Just returned from Vegas (4/29), and wondering if anyone is monitoring the costumes/outfits of Fremont Street participants? While most are entertaining, some seem uncomfortably bizarre ... especially with young families enjoying the activities.

I was recently in the Las Vegas Airport and noticed a few people playing the slot machines. I was wondering if anyone has ever hit a large jackpot? If so, what was the amount?

A few years ago I enjoyed going to Mandalay Bay to see the Komodo Dragon at the Shark Reef. On a recent trip to Las Vegas I noticed that the Komodo Dragon billboard and all of its advertising seem to be gone. Is the dragon still there, on display?

I heard a rumor that the Las Vegas Club towers were sold to a timeshare company. Is there any truth to this rumor?

Based on a recent QOD in regards to MayPac, I am now interested in visitor numbers for big events. I know that New Year's Eve is the biggest event of the year, but I would be interested in other big events like March Madness, NASCAR, and others in terms of visitor numbers.

What is a typical monthly utility bill for the Strip casinos/hotels?
