What is the procedure at the casinos when there is a power outage or emergency (think Monte Carlo fire) concerning the gaming area? How are games stopped and money secured?

We’ll be in Vegas the weekend of April 19-20 for my parents-in-laws’ 50th wedding anniversary. They live in Vegas and aren’t Jewish. But since we’ll be there the first and second nights of Passover, we’d like to attend a seder. Can you suggest where we might start looking for one?

We’re long-time LVA subscribers and my husband just got back from the Consumer Electronics convention. He says it’s leaving Las Vegas because it’s too expensive there. Is this true?

I'll bet we're not the only ones coming to Las Vegas for Valentines Day. Could you please give us info. on specials going on -- food, events, etc. Thanks!!

I recently read the following summary of major projects being built on the Strip: Wynn Encore, $2.2 billion, early 2009, 5,000 jobs; Cosmopolitan, $3 billion, late 2009, 7,500 jobs; CityCenter, $7.8 billion, late 2009, 15,900 jobs; Fontainebleau, $2.8 billion, late 2009, 9,700 jobs; Echelon, $4.8 billion, late 2010, 13,250 jobs; Plaza, $5 billion, 2011, 8,750 jobs; Crown, $5 billion, 2011, 7,500 jobs; MGM Dubai World $5 billion, 2012, 7,500 jobs. Where is everyone going to park? And with all of those new buildings, new jobs, more rooms, and more tourists, how are people going to get around? The Strip is already very slow most of the time. And where are all the people who are going to fill all these new jobs? Where are they all going to live? What about the water shortage? And what about other infrastructure? Is someone planning for all of this? Boom times indeed.

I've heard there is a casino being built at St. Rose and Las Vegas Blvd. out in the south ... Can you tell us about it?

Are any casinos issuing commemorative chips for the Chinese Year of the Rat?

How far is Las Vegas from Area 51? Are there any tours for this? Isn't there a guided tour of the atomic weapons testing range?

Now it’s official: the Patriots and Giants in the 2008 Super Bowl. Taking into account the huge New York-Boston rivalry, how much additional security will be required for the lounges, casinos, and race & sports books throughout Las Vegas?
