Could you possibly provide some information on renting houseboats on Lake Mead? We’re coming out this summer with our two teenage boys and a friend each and I thought that renting a houseboat might be something they’d never forget, if we can afford it -- and are taught how to drive one!

I looked through the archives and couldn't find this referenced: Can you purchase a day pass to pools on the Strip, for those of us who may be staying in a hotel with less then a spectacular pool?

I have another Palms question for you, namely, is there a dress code to enter the Playboy Club and can I use my $50/50% off POV coupon to pay the cover charge?

Tell us again, if you would, about how you can look down from a spot high atop the Palms, clear down to the ground. A small area within the building?

I recently stayed at the Planet Hollywood hotel and wanted to open the window air vents so I could hear the music that plays with the Bellagio fountain show, but there was a sticker near the vents saying "moth season -- please keep vent closed." When I called the front desk, I was told that moths tend to go into the outside opening of the vents and that Bellagio and other hotels have the same problem. I've never seen or heard of this before. Is there really a moth problem?

On the Discovery Channel show "Dirty Jobs," Mike Rowe was at a pig farm "just off the Vegas Strip." In a later show he mentioned that the farmer had been offered $75,000,000 for his property and turned it down. Where is the farm and what is it called? Do they offer tours now that they are famous?

I'm coming to Las Vegas this summer with my 10-year-old son and eight-year-old nephew. Both boys are nuts about baseball. Can you tell me something about the Las Vegas 51s, Vegas's minor-league baseball team? For example, what team are they affiliated with? And how do I get tickets?

If you had to pick the times not to come to Las Vegas -- due to large crowds, high demand for amenities, and the attending high prices -- which would they be?

What is the current status on the new rental car center at the airport? Is it open and running yet?

I've heard the term "walking the marker," which, as I understand it, means to have a house account at a casino and to take out the interest-free cash and use it elsewhere -- to gamble or to put it into some kind of investment, like a one-month CD. Is this legal?
