I haven’t been to Vegas in about three years and I was wondering what new/different things I might encounter?

Why do I get shocked every time I'm in Las Vegas?

This year, we may decide to visit over New Year's Eve for the first time. I've heard rumors that, for crowd control and security, casinos may only allow their own hotel guests to enter for some period of the holiday. Can you review any special restrictions usually imposed on New Year's Eve?

Is there any daily return bus trip from Las Vegas to Los Angeles?

We were in Las Vegas last Dec. around Christmas and were disappointed the Strip was not Christmas decorated. In fact, most casinos had no decorations, except Bellagio. Is this the norm or are there some casinos we missed that do decorate?

Happy Thanksgiving!

The M Resort sits like a lonely outpost. Is there anything planned to be built around it?

The water level of Lake Mead is kind of scary, isn't it (QoD 11/11/2010)? If it keeps dropping as drastically as it has been for the past 10 years or so, what can be done to insure Las Vegas's future water supply?

On my Internet homepage today, they listed the 25 most dangerous zipcode areas. It seems three in Las Vegas made the list. Could you please tell me how close they are to the Strip? I never felt uncomfortable walking the Strip, but am a little concerned now. I vacation there once a year. I love the town.

I figure it’s a good time to buy a condo at a hotel in Vegas at a reasonable price. Especially at the Signature at MGM. How does the whole thing work? If I purchase one and own it, does it mean I can live there permanently if I wanted to or is it like a timeshare thing? Also if someone "moves out," does a real-estate agent handle the selling and buying of the condo or is that all done by the property (MGM Grand)?
