Hi. I recently watched an episode of "CSI" which had a plot where young adults in hoodies swarmed and attacked tourists. The activity and the episode were called "Fanny Packers." Is this a true thing?

In 2004, I was in Las Vegas walking precincts for a political campaign and I ran into streets called Skywalker Avenue, Vader Avenue, Tarkin Avenue, Kinobe Avenue, and Leia Street. I joked that the developer let his 12-year-old son name the streets, but I'm wondering -- what IS the story?

One thing we noticed about South Coast is that it actually has a huge clock mounted on the outside of the building to the right of the entrance. There might have been one on the left of the entrance also, but we didn't look. This brings to mind a question ... Do any other casinos have clocks mounted either inside or outside their building?

My husband and I were recently guests at the Palazzo. He happened to notice that there was a motion sensor in the ceiling of our room. Can you tell me what is the purpose of a motion sensor in a hotel room?

I don't know anything about Las Vegas' Chinatown. How about some info, including reviews of some restaurants?

My buddies and I travel to Vegas a few times a year. We always gamble a little bit, but we’re not really into shows or shopping. Instead, we’re thinking of starting to attend sporting events in Vegas venues. Can you give us a rundown of where to buy tickets for sports played in Las Vegas?

A big deal is being made about the Komodo dragon at Mandalay Bay’s Shark Reef attraction. What is a Komodo dragon and why is it such a major event?

Off both Durango and Spring Mountain Rd, from the air I can see huge pits. What are these? And how deep are they?

Are any of the pools in the strip hotels open to non-resident guests or locals?
