Based on the Friday Feb. 8th question, I noticed among the new properties listed to be built is the "Plaza" in 2011. Is this a new property or will it replace the current Plaza on Fremont Street?

We read a lot about MGM Mirage’s Project CityCenter in the LVA and Las Vegas Review-Journal, but not much seems to be said about Echelon Place, the other big multi-billion-dollar construction project on the Strip. Would you be so kind as to fill in the blanks for us curious readers? Thanks!

A group of my friends are going to Las Vegas in May and want to have a pre-Vegas party here in Hawaii. Do you know where I can get CDs of casino sounds (slot machines, video poker machines, table games, etc.) so that we can enhance the atmosphere of our party?

We will be out for our annual Las Vegas visit this month. What special events are planned for St. Patrick's Day?

We're coming to Vegas soon and our downtown hotel wants $11.95 per day for wireless Internet service. Where are the free wireless hotspots?

I'm going to be in Vegas for two weeks and will have to do laundry once. Do you know what kind of prices the hotels will charge me to wash? I figure they'll be expensive, so do you know of any laundromats that are within walking distance of the Strip or any place that will pick up and return my laundry at a reasonable price?

You see visitors buying and carrying bottled water. This can become very expensive and -– with not being able to bring a bottle of water through security at McCarran Airport -– big bucks here. Is the bottled water we pay so dearly for just tap water? Is the tap water in Las Vegas good, just OK, or bad?

We hear about the mega millions and even billons of dollars to construct new casinos in Las Vegas. What does it cost to implode and remove one of these giants?

We will be traveling to Las Vegas next month. Are there any Web sites that tell you what the current jackpots are for various slot machines?

I recently heard that there are plans to build a 30-story high rise "farm" in Las Vegas and that food produced there is to be used in local casinos. OK, I’m really curious. Who’s brainchild is this? Are they planning to use hydroponics or some other means to produce products? What do they plan on growing? How many people will this employ? Are casinos involved and backing this? So many questions ... so I’ve turned to the LVA gods!
