How prevalent are hotel fees and resort amenity fees?

I live in Canada and found a tito cash ticket from my last trip to Las Vegas. The ticket is worn from being in my wallet (unnoticed) and is 11 months old. If I do not get back to Las Vegas, what, if anything can I do? I believe you answered this question awhile back, but I missed reading that answer. Thank you.

My wife is addicted to Diet Coke, to the point where we have to plan our trips around which casinos serve Coke products or someplace close to a "quickie mart" where she can buy Coke products. Why does it appear that Vegas is such a Pepsi-dominated town, and just for fun what volume (compared to a small ocean) of Coke or Pepsi is consumed in Vegas in a year?

Don't any of the pools on the Strip have an indoor pool? I would love to come in the winter, but I want to be able to swim.

Ah, now you've piqued my curiosity. Regarding the old catwalks (QoD 12/21/08), you say, " ... and the risk of surveillance personnel falling over the edge (it did happen, but that’s another story)." So what is the other story?

What can you tell us about the recent appearance of the historic snowfall in Las Vegas? Any pictures?

In the Fast Track section of the January Advisor, there was a short blurb about a new controversy involving the IRS, the casinos, and the Culinary union. Can you explain the background of the tip-reporting deal that the blurb referred to? Thanks.

Thanks for the graphic description of New Year's Eve in Las Vegas (QoD 12/11/08). Sounds deadly! What do people who actually live in Las Vegas do that night? Go out and party with the crazies? Lay low and come up for air a couple days later? Go to Borneo?

Can you make a living playing video poker? By a living, I mean averaging $200 a day profit. Or are all machine payoffs adusted too low to be profitable?

You just recently explained the big crowds on New Years Eve. How long do these visitors stay? I am coming in on Jan. 4th and want to know what to expect. Thanks
