How do the large hotels maintain an adequate supply of hot water for their guests and the needs of the facility?

I'm watching TV and there is a live feed from Black Rock City, Nevada, of the Burning Man. Where is it? How far from Vegas? And WHY?

I'm going to be in Las Vegas for a bachelorette party in October. Where is the best place to take the bride-to-be for her last time out? I hear all about all the places for guys to go, but what is there for women to do?

In the QoD on 08/22/07, you said the Russian Mafia has been involved in extorting money from online gambling sites. How is this possible? To extort money from someone you have to have something over them don't you?

I recently talked to a friend who said that he heard that somewhere on the Strip is a place where you can get discounts to all the major shows on the day of the shows. Where is it?

I was browsing through a magazine in the doctor's waiting room recently and read a snippet reproduced from an old New York Times about how there had once been camels in the Nevada desert. Do you know anything about this?

I just finished reading Beneath the Neon, which will always make me think twice about what –- or who –- might be under my favorite resorts. Is there much reaction to the book in Las Vegas?

I read the recent QoD about ways to stay cool in Las Vegas. I know about the ice bar and the Vodka Locker at Mandalay Bay, but I'm intrigued by the "ice spa" at Caesars that you mentioned. Does snow really fall from the ceiling?

Are there any specials in town for all the military folks that visit? My friends and I are looking at doing a trip out there in November as a diversion from Nav School.

What's up with this thing called Fremont East? I heard there's some sort of grand opening celebration downtown, but what is it?
