First time Vegas trip in a few days - Few Questions

[PokerPrince]

1. How many players seated at Holdem games in Vegas? Heard it was ten then told by another source it was nine.

2. Is it max 4 raises in every cardroom or JUST Belagio?

3. Is it usually nice and warm/sunny this time of year? Can I sit by a pool or will it be too chilly?

4. Where is the best place to buy gambling gear? Books/tapes/kems etc?

5. Anyone gonna be at Belagio playing on Sun-Wed?

I know I could find all this stuff out when I get there but I'de like to be more prepared beforehand. Thanks to anyone who can help out.
