Which of the now-demolished/rebranded properties do you the miss most, and why? Reader Poll feedback -- Part I.

For years now I've seen some version of an ad from the Gold Coast that says, "Our slots paid out more than $39,000,000 in jackpots last month" (and I've seen similar ads with lower numbers for bars). This must mean the players lost more than $39 million, right? But is there any way to use this payout information to determine which casinos' slots are loosest?

Can you discuss the legality of alcohol in limos? The property I used to stay at would pick my wife and I up in a limo and it was always stocked with beer. My host at a different property said they weren't allowed to have alcohol in their limos. Is it illegal to drink in a limo or to provide free drinks in them?

What happened to the free white tigers at the Mirage? My daughter went to see them in their glass exhibit and said they closed it. The only way to see them is to pay now.

What is going to happen to the "Classic Jazz Band" from the Gold Coast. Have you heard if they are planning to appear anywhere else?? I’ll be lost now when I go to GC as that was such great entertainment for us older people ... this "kid music" is not much for our ears. Love your website, keep up the good work.

Can’t help but notice the record heatwaves around the country and Las Vegas. Out of curiosity, what is the record for consecutive number of days that the temperature exceeded 100 degrees in Las Vegas?

On my last trip to Las Vegas I wanted to use the LVA coupon for the Cloud Nine balloon ride but could not find it. I don't have a car while in town but I had heard it was across from Mandalay Bay. I walked down there but couldn't see anything? Is it walkable from the Strip?

LVA regularly refers to happenings at Town Center. What area makes up Town Center in Las Vegas?

We drove through the little mobile-home settlement of Cal-Nev-Ari last month on our way back to Tucson from Vegas. The lady at the market there told us that the whole town is for sale. It sounds like an interesting story. Do you know it?

I’ve just heard that Singapore could soon become the most profitable gaming destination in the world. But I’m barely aware there even are casinos in Singapore. Can you provide any background?
