Do you know of anywhere to go ice skating outdoors in the Denver metro area? -

I m looking for a good outdoor ice rink in the Denver metro area that is open on the week nights for a date.

Bel-Mar outdoor shopping center has an ice skating rink open everyday until sometime in January I believe.Alemeda and Wadsworth

Where are the locations of some Katrina hurricane memorials? -

Where are some memorials for hurricane katrina victims located. I know extreme home makeover did one. Where are others?

New Orleans Katrina Memorial at Charity Hospital CemeteryOne in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleanshttp://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/��http://www.usatoday.com/weather/news/200��these are the two i know of.Not counting graves i have seen driving around. Like vera on Magazine st. It says here lies Vera. It might still be there but with a better grave than just bricks on top of her.

Have you heard of venice florida? -

please answer yes or no and if you have tell me what you know about it

Yes I have and its right next to the beach its beautiful there.

Yes. Been there once. It s very nice, on the west coast of Florida. There are areas there that have sulfur springs which vent sulfur into the air. It takes awhile to used to, but otherwise it is beautiful.

I lived on Venice Island for 3 years...very nice place to live BUT everything closes early and boy does red tide stink!

Yes

yup

Have you ever stayed at Ballys Las Vegas? North or South? -

Basically I m getting a room comped for 2 nights at one of their South Tower standard rooms. They offered me an upgrade for $10 per night to a North Tower room.So I did some research...Do the South Tower rooms have better view, but older and not as nice furnishings as the North Towers?Have the South Tower rooms been renovated recently? (supposedly according to some reviews)Which side tower did YOU stay at? What level was it?(standard/deluxe/suite?) Was it roomy? How was the bathroom? (bathtub?)I realize a lot of you will be saying that I won t be staying in the room that much because it s Vegas, so it shouldn t matter. BUT i m taking my girlfriend who is not so much a club goer/drinker/gambler as I am. We would like to spend a decent amount of time relaxing in the hotel.So... view, size, cleanliness would all be important to me.thanks for your input guys~

The South tower has the better view, but the rooms have not been renovated in 25 years. They are much more likely to have minor problems, and are dark and drab. It is a tradeoff.For your extra $10 to switch to the North tower you are getting the same size room, but with new furnishings with more comfortable sitting chairs and a desk.I think they were renovated about 5 years ago. But you give up your view.

Yes its pretty simple:South has older furnishing but has a viewNorth is newer but you don t get a view

I stayed at Bally s in March 2005, in room 7125, which is the south tower.Here s a photo of the room http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/LVCD3/��Here s a photo of the view from the room http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/LVCD3/��I d pay the extra $10 for the north tower though. Here s a review on tripadvisor from December 2005 with photos of north and south tower rooms http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserRevie��People who say room quality isn t important because you don t spend much time in it should spend a few nights at Wynn or Venetian, then spend a few nights at the Gold Spike or Diamond Inn Motel and report how there was no difference between the two properties.If you can afford it, take your girlfriend to Wynn, Encore, Venetian, Palazzo, Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, or one of the new CityCenter hotels (Vdara, Aria, Mandarin Oriental.) Bally s is kind of a low roller experience. Although I have no problem with staying there myself, I would never take a girlfriend there. I would only take a girlfriend or spouse to the properties I listed. Show her a spectacular time she ll never forget... don t endure mediocrity to save a few bucks.Take a look at Encore http://hubpages.com/hub/Encore-Las-Vegas

Why does mail from California to Texas take so long? -

I have a friend that lives in Dallas, TX and I live in Southern California and every time I mail my friend something First Class Mail which regularly takes 3 days it takes 5 days for her to receive it. Why is this?

Mainly because it stays on the ground. A lot of mail when going from say NY to LA will go on the plane if there is room, where from LA to Dallas it would stay on the ground and go through 2 or more post office sorting stations. Instead of just 1 if it were going to NY.

It s not exacty right across the street
