Our daughter just got accepted to attending UNLV next year as a junior and she'll need to work at a job to help support herself. How much is the minimum wage in Nevada. We hear conflicting numbers, between $5-something and $6-something. Can you straighten us out?

With some of the casino companies currently struggling financially, even some rumored to be on the verge of bankruptcy, should I start reducing the comp balances I have on the player’s cards? Basically, am I at risk of losing these accrued benefits if bankruptcy is filed, or will the casino companies respond like the airlines and take care of their players?

My friends and I are flying out to Sin City in a month and need you to settle a small bet we have: I say it is against the law to have open alcohol containers in the vehicle and in public places such as on the Strip and downtown; my friends all say you can have open containers anywhere within city limits, even inside of a moving vehicle! Can you please tell us how the REAL law(s) read, and settle this bet once and for all?

Just returned from a successful (won a little and used LVA coupons) trip to Vegas and was driving on Paradise between Flamingo and Tropicana and saw the Thomas and Mack center. Who are (were) Thomas and Mack? Hope I got the two names right.

I know that if a person wins a jackpot of $1,200 or more, he/she would have to claim it on their IRS. My question is: Would a person still have to file a claim with the IRS if that person won several $500 jackpots, totaling more than a couple thousand dollars, either at the same or several casinos in a weekend?

I recently won a $2,400 jackpot at a locals casino in Vegas. Once the slot attendant & staff paid out my money, I really didn't have a clue how much if any to tip her. Should one tip the staff on a jackpot winner? If so, what are the tipping guidelines?

Considering they are in every filling station, 24-hour convenience store, and mom & pop restaurant, as well as casinos ... just how many video poker machines would you estimate were in Las Vegas/Clark County?

Last year I read in a gambling magazine that the Stratosphere is the only casino on the Strip that is in the Las Vegas city limits. I have not been able to find the city-limit boundaries. Can you shed some light on this?
