I was listening to NPR yesterday and a member of the Center for Gaming Research at UNLV stated that gaming was responsible for only 40% of the revenue in Las Vegas, but didn't go into detail as to what comprised the other 60%. Can you get the statistics on the contributing categories (hotel rooms, shows, restaurants, conventions, etc.)?

I remember the restaurant Dive by Spielberg on the Strip in front of the shopping mall. Do you have any further info on the joint, like photos and what was inside the place? Thanks!

On our last trip to Las Vegas (October), we took a day trip out to Valley of Fire. Wow. We've been coming to Vegas for two decades and never realized what a beautiful park was so close. Though all the rock formations are spectacular, we were most taken with the petroglyphs. Can you shed some light on their origins and significance?

We're coming out to Las Vegas on Christmas Day and staying through till Saturday 29th. I plan on asking my girlfriend to marry me and giving her the ring. Are there any über-romantic shows, or sites in Vegas where she could feel like the star she is? I've called a couple of shows to see if they would help me pop the question and I got a cold shoulder.

Everyone knows that Las Vegas isn’t exactly known for preserving its history, but does it have any museums? If so, can you recommend the best one or two in terms of helping to understand how the city came to be the way it is?

I heard a potential new Las Vegas urban legend yesterday. The story is that the 40,000 Brits that came to Las Vegas for the Mayweather-Hatton fight were able to drink the MGM Grand dry of beer. Then the MGM had to scramble to buy beer at many of the local liquor stores. Could this possibly be true?

Your answer to the question on beer consumption at casinos made me wonder if they recycle all of that glass and aluminum or just throw it out with the rest of the trash. How recycling-sensitive are the hotel-casinos in general?

You gave us a good scary account of New Years Eve on the Strip. How about downtown (for us "low rollers")?!

Is there any good skiing (in combination with good accommodations) within an hour or so of Vegas?
