Whatever happened with the plan to build a UFO-themed hotel in Baker? Is that project still happening? I miss the themed hotels in Las Vegas and it sounded like a fun idea!

On the south side of E. Warm Springs Rd., between Placid St. and South Bermuda Rd., sits a huge building that has been unfinished for years. The lot(s) it sits on is pretty well maintained and hasn’t grown up with weeds during the time I’ve been noticing it. Obviously there’s some caretaking being accomplished on the site, but nothing ever changes with the building itself. Would you folks at LVA have any information about this building, its intended purpose, and whether there are plans to ever complete its construction?

I recently visited Fremont Street and saw the new "performance circles" for the buskers. They look like giant poker chips, spread out across the pedestrian walkway. They definitely make Fremont less chaotic and more organized, which to me is both good and bad. It seems safer, but also that some of the fun has been lost. Has there been any response to the new system?

To complement yesterday's Reader Poll results, regarding what new things you were most looking forward to for Las Vegas in 2016 (which didn't amount to much!), here are the results of the previous reader survey that we ran at the end of last year, regarding your biggest disappointments of 2015.

Casino Royale has a large portion of the casino floor walled off and under construction. Table games have been moved to the back. What are the remodel plans?

I know there is no lottery in Nevada, but with the Powerball jackpot well past the breakeven point, I'm wondering how many in the LVA family will be making the trek to California to play? I know there are a lot of advantage players in your group, but with such a small sample size (potentially a single draw) I'm curious how that affects their decision-making.

Can you tell me where the production Spoofical will be opening?

What is going on at Silverton. Is the new hotel finished? Are there any new or updated restaurants?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The condo hotels in Las Vegas have been non-smoking for years, but I recently learned that Bellagio has made all rooms and suites non-smoking (with a huge cleaning fee). Are there any other casino hotels that are going 100 percent non-smoking?
