Upcoming Las Vegas trip... So many questions!

I will be in Vegas quite soon, and I'm ready to get baked and have a great time! I will be staying in The Linq and have many questions for locals or past visitors. If you can help me with any of this info, please chime in.

1. As far as I can tell, Reef, Apothecary, ReLeaf, and Essence are the closest dispensaries to the Linq. Are there any that you recommend going to or avoiding? Also, I would prefer to walk from a monorail or bus stop, but if necessary I will take a cab.

2. I'm bringing a Smoke Buddy Jr. for my room, but will need to buy a plastic/acrylic bong for my stay. Are these sold in the dispensaries or will I need to find a separate headshop? And if so, which would you recommend?

3. What has your experience been with smoking in hotel rooms and/or on the strip and on Fremont? Yes I will buy disposable pens and edibles, but I want to light the occasional blunt in Vegas. I hear it smells like pot everywhere anyway, but I just want to hear about it from someone that has been there.

4. Anybody had any success or issues with carrying something back home from McCarran? Obviously flower is out of the question, but wax and edibles is tempting.
