Is there any moving businesses that would take my things from New Mexico to New York? -

i want to move back to New York but i cant take all my furniture and things on the plane with me lol so i was wondering if there is someone who knows of a place that can ship them or have them driven back to NY. i tried Uhaul but no luck.

You can try North American or Allied Van Lines. They both do cross-country moves anywhere in the country.Good luckNative New Yorker

With UHaul, you drive the truck.Any moving company will be pleased to load and haul for you. Look on-line or in the phone book under Moving. Do not move what you do not need or want to keep as it is by the pound and cubic foot!

There are several companies who move people as their main business. One word of warning: use one of the well-known companies. A lot of people try to save money with an unknown company and never see their stuff again.Some of the well-known names are:Mayflower United Van LinesNorth American Van Lines

Why are there so many cities in the US? -

It seems any town with over 5,000 people living there seems to be classed as a city. What classes a town a city in America? And why are there so many?

I believe the classification varies from state to state. You could have a place of 500,000 people in one state but it would be called a town , then in another state you could have a place of 1,000 people and it would be called a city .So it depends on the legislation of each state, and also people s general perception of a city .

thats not a city. a city is a population of at least 100,000 by the census. im not sure how the other municipalities or whatever are classified though. there are so many cities because so many people live there !

Read up on Central Place Theory in Wikipedia or elsewhere.

What is better in Las Vegas, the rat pack show at the Sahara or at the Plaza? -

I m going with 15 of my family members to Vegas in 10 days!!!! and I really want to see a Rat Pack Show- I only saw the one at the Plaza until I looked today and saw there is one at the Sahara. Which is better?

The Rat Pack show at the Plaza is the original and is still the best. But that can all change in the future. But for now, The Plaza Rat Pack is the way to go. The one at the Plaza now has a showroom dinner that they offer as well.

The son of Buddy Hacket was formerly with the Rat Pack at the Plaza, and he just left to form his own group at the Sahara. They are in litigation (see article).------------The Sahara show just began on 19 November. I think there are very few people who have been to both shows. Sahara is a nicer casino than The Plaza, and it is on the strip. If I was staying on the strip I would head that way.------------The lowest price hotels in downtown Las Vegas have simply had their room rates drop through the floor. Binion s, Las Vegas club, and The Plaza are often selling rooms for $20 midweek, and sometimes lower. Binion s was the first to close their hotel this week. They are keeping the casino open, and their hotel across the walkway at four queen s is open. --------------I think that The Plaza or Las Vegas club will probably do the same thing. They are both operated by the same person, so they may just close one of them.

I actually know people in both shows....but my other friends know them better and will have better feedback from having seen/knowing them all even better...so, after the event I m going to tonight (where I ll see most of them) I ll pass on their feedback for you. If they ve got any bargain deals for your group I ll let you know that too...Also, you may want to consider Jersey Boys ...it s a favorite amongst locals and visitors...much more so than the rat pack show(s). Wayne Newton s show is currently in/out at the Tropicana...but it s more of a tribute to him and his past...his voice is basically totally shot (I was at the opening nite of the show, and I m a fan of the legend , but you shouldn t see the show if you re not a fan paying tribute to the legend.)
