I have seen results from a $25,000 buy-in tournament on the strip which runs every couple of weeks with 18 to 36 entered. Since the IRS makes sure I have a W2-G for every payout of $1,200+ are the poker rooms bound by reporting requirements on these and other large cash games?

Several years ago, the incomparable Debbie Reynolds bought a casino in Vegas, which failed. What happened that it wasn’t a success?

Why doesn't the NFL allow casinos to use the term, "Super Bowl" when advertising events, promos, etc.? I don't see how use of the term would hurt their bottom line.

A few months ago I bought a futures ticket for the Super Bowl. Recently, I inspected it and the printing on it is almost illegible due to fading. I obviously don't know if I bet on the right team or not. Is there some way that the ticket can be made legible again?

My wife and I will be in Las Vegas the end of January into the first week of February. Can you tell us the closest places to ski/snowboard to Las Vegas. How about available rentals and cost.

I just learned that Chrissi Scinta from The Scintas had to quit back in 2013 due to health problems. Do you have an update about this extremely gifted and entertaining woman?

Is there still a Playboy Club in one of the hotel casinos just off the Strip? If so, where is it located? If not, what years was it in operation?

Your most recent QoD about redevelopment of the Strip (11/29/16) brought back 35 years of memories. Every 15 years or so, Las Vegas goes through a "phase." In the sixties, it was for "Hollywood East" people. In the eighties, it was for "family fun." In the nineties to 2005, it was "megaresort development." Now it seems to be a convention-driven Strip. Now I see mega-convention centers and boxlike hotels (Linq, Aria, Cosmo). The fun has gone from the Strip. They seem to just be moving most people from the hotels to the convention centers and back. For some basic fun and gaming, I have been moving to the downtown casinos and the local casinos. Have you seen the same kind of trends?

I seem to recall that Carl Icahn was given a deadline of August or September to cover up his his Strip monstrosity [Fontainebleau] to make it less dreadful. The deadline has come and gone without any sign of anything happening. What gives?

I have visited Las Vegas over 1,300 nights in my life and I recently witnessed over and over something weird. Most casinos leave abandoned slot credits on a machine alone. But the last five trips I have been frequenting The D. The employees cash out the leftover credits and scan them. What happens to those credits? I have witnessed other casinos cash the credits out and leave the paper on the machine glass for others to use. What gives?
