I will be in Las Vegas Sept. 10-16 and would like to get into a low cost Texas Hold 'em tournament. Could please let me know where I might do that? I appreciate your assistance.

The Tropicana used to feature a Las Vegas history museum and I visited it several times. Was it relocated or just dismantled?

I've heard about the Segway tours offered at Lake Las Vegas. Do you have any details about this fun excursion?

It might be a little early, but is there any special events happening in Vegas the weekend when it will be 07-07-07 (July 7, 2007)?

Are there any local places in Las Vegas to rent a laptop computer for a week while I'm visiting and then return it before I leave town? If so, how much would such a rental cost? And where along the Strip is there FREE wi-fi/Internet access? (Please answer soon; I'm heading their next week.) Thanks!

You reported in the LVA some months back that Tesco, the British supermarket chain, is coming to Las Vegas. When is that going to happen and what will the stores be like?

Is the north end of the Strip exploding or what? Stratosphere sold. Sahara sold. Vacant El Rancho Vegas lot sold. Echelon Place breaking ground. Fontainebleau rising. Encore rising. Palazzo almost finished. What more can happen?

I thought smoking wasn’t allowed in bars in Las Vegas, but when I walked into one on my last trip, two people were smoking cigarettes and one was puffing on a cigar! There was even a no-smoking sign on the door. What gives?

In a recent answer, you noted that access to the Hard Rock pool is $20 for day use. The Hard Rock pool has swim-up blackjack. I thought Nevada Gaming Regulations prevented charging for access to a gaming table. I know there was a regulation change for the Playboy Club. Does this regulation change mean that everyone (Hard Rock included) can put tables in exclusive areas or do you need a Gaming Control waiver?
