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?

I was at the Silverton when they closed the RV park. What are they doing with that space? I didn't see any mention of it in your list of ongoing L.V. projects. Also, I read that the Silverton was voted "Best Locals Casino." What were the criteria for that?

My daughter and I will be going to Vegas in the fall and (since we intend to play a lot of blackjack) we were wondering ... approximately how many decks of cards does the average casino have on hand at any given time? Also, how long is a deck used and what happens to it when they are done with it?

Now that the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon is open, maybe you could give us some of the whiz-bang technical facts and figures about it. It must be a marvel of engineering.
