Every time we're in Las Vegas, we make it a point of having a drink at the bar at the Ranch Steakhouse, at the top of Binion's. The ride up in the glass elevator we think is one of the great free thrills in town. Are there any other glass elevators that go to the top floors of Las Vegas hotels?

My parents turned me onto coupons on our many trips to Vegas. Recently, on a first date, I took the girl to a restaurant where I had a 2-for-1. She got irate. She said it was rude that I was only paying for my own meal, not hers. Then she said that it made her feel cheap, which seemed even worse than if she'd accused me of being cheap. By the way, it was a nice restaurant, and the bill, after the coupon and with tip, still came to 40 bucks. Any comment from the coupon people?

What is the appropriate or suggested amount for a tip, if any, when you're being paid a machine jackpot? It seems to me that when you hit a jackpot, quite a few people suddenly arrive on the scene. Do these "machine people" share the tips?
