In regards to your QoD of 3/6/2107 about the best card-counting systems, I personally use Speed Count as discussed in the book Beat Blackjack Now. I have found it to be an excellent method and easy to use and I’ve had good success with it. Your thoughts?

Whatever happened to Jackie Gaughan's penthouse apartment at the top of the El Cortez? Last we heard from Question of the Day, it hadn't been touched.

If I wanted to have a bankroll of $3,000-$5,000 for gambling, but didn't want to travel with the cash, what is the least costly option to get money? Will the casino cages cash a large check? Wiring ahead could cost $20 or more. ATM withdrawals usually have daily limits. And I'm visiting in April and I hate carrying a lot of cash. Can I deposit a few thousand with a casino host where I'm staying and gamble off that and withdraw some money when I need it? Also can I just transfer from my bank to the casino and use them like a bank? I'm a new visitor and wondering how something like this works or am I stuck using the ATMs and their exorbitant fees.

This a 2-sided question. First can you give a list of dates that are the worst times to come to Las Vegas. You know, because of big crowds for trade shows, conventions, or sporting events, etc. Second can you give the upcoming dates for the restaurant weeks. This combined info can help many plan their next trips to this best destination.

Are there any bars and/or clubs that cater to Baby Boomers? It would be fun to be able to dance the Stroll with my wife in Vegas.

I'm retiring soon. Too healthy to sit. I would love to be a dealer, but part time. What are the odds of a senior getting a part-time job on the casino floor?

I recently heard that the MGM Grand was (or is) going to be totally off the grid -- is that true or even possible?

I know that the Gaming Control Board has to be involved if a slot machine's payout is changed; do they also have to be involved if a video poker machine's pay table is changed?

I have submitted many questions over the years. Some made it to Question of the Day and some didn't. The ones that didn't were not even replied to. So what are the criteria to make it and how come you don't reply to the others? (I wonder if THIS will make it).

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for this special announcement.
