I was curious about how far I'd need to drive to see an Indian reservation. And if it's OK to visit one.

Are there any ghost towns near Las Vegas where one can go metal detecting?

We used to enjoy visiting the Ocean Spray cranberry juice factory, the Kidd marshmallow factory, and the Ron Lee clown factory in Henderson. Are they still there? Landmarks have changed so much, we can't find anything.

What's the best way to drive to Mt. Charleston and what hotels and restaurants are located on the mountain? I've also heard there’s a special brunch. If so, where is it served and what are the hours?

Do any of the hotels on the Strip offer free wireless Internet access with a room? Is there any place to get a free Internet connection on the Strip in general, such as a coffee shop?

Where does the gambling term "punter" come from?

We come to Las Vegas two-three times a year and it almost takes the whole time we are there to find a good radio station. It seems like the car rental places like to set the stations to ones with strange music. I think it would be helpful to have a list of some of the established radio stations and the type of music -- oldies, rock, jazz, etc. Thank you.

Thank you for the recent answer on Death Valley. But how about something a little closer to Las Vegas? From reading the guidebooks, I see that the two big parks nearby are Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire. Which do you recommend?

Is there a particular time of year that is considered "in-season" in Las Vegas?

How likely are we to find the show tickets we want at the discount booths along the Strip? What are the shows most likely to be available?
