I have a friend who's obsessed with the Rat Pack and the entire Vegas in the 1950s/'60s nostalgia scene. If you could put together a 1- to 2-day itinerary (places to see, eat, stay) that is centered around the look and feel of the Rat Pack era, we'd love to know your expert opinion. Authentic landmarks would be ideal, but I also know that these days, "authentic" sites are few and far between, so it would be fine to include newer places that just exude the vibe of that scene. Thanks!

We came to Las Vegas for the marathon and Great Santa Run in December, but I have not been able to find any information on the final number of Santas. Did they break the World Record?

What can you tell us about the citizen police academy in Las Vegas. Do regular people really get to ride around in cop cruisers and fight crime?

How many wedding chapels are there in the Vegas area? Is one better than another? How many weddings occur in Vegas annually?

What kind of child care facilities are in Las Vegas Hotels? What do they cost? Is it reliable?

I heard recently that MGM Mirage is building its own monorail from the airport to service only MGM Mirage properties. The rumor has a price tag of around $900 million. Any truth to this and if so, how could MGM Mirage justify nearly a billion-dollar expenditure for a glorified train?

My husband and I will be in Vegas on Christmas Eve. We are staying at Caesars and were wondering if there was anywhere on the Strip to go to Mass?

My husband is a corrections officer with a permit to carry a concealed handgun in our state (Minnesota). Can he carry in Las Vegas? What are the policies on honoring out-of-state handgun permits in the casinos and in the city in general?

I read somewhere that there's going to be a huge new jewelry center built in Las Vegas. Do you know if it's going to be trade only or if it will be open to the public and if so, when's it due to open? Any information you have would be appreciated.

We have just booked a trip to Vegas for New Year's Eve (arriving on the 26th of December and staying for 7 nights). Can you please advise us of what goes on in Vegas for New Year's Eve and what we can expect!
