Since I know you aren’t shying away from certain subjects (e.g. the "naughtiest thing you’ve done in Vegas" poll), maybe you’ll decide to tackle this one (evil grin). In an issue last year of your LVA newsletter, I noticed that the AVN would be in Vegas 1/15-1/18. You showed prices $55-$275. Since I thought this was a porn movie-star "convention," the question comes to mind: What does this pricing cover??? Do I get "more" for my $275 than I would for my $55 fee?? Inquiring minds wanna know :) Should be a fun answer, should you guys decide to tackle this one :) Merry Christmas!!

Your recent QOD (7/14/14), about longest-running contemporary Strip headliner, mentioned Lance Burton and the fact that his show ended in 2010. It made me think about ALL the former long-running headliners, like Elvis, Siegfried & Roy, Liberace, Wayne Newton, etc. Is there a list of long-running residencies? If there isn’t already a standard definition, I would consider long-running as 10 years or more, and a residency as doing at least 5 shows per week for at least 40 weeks per year. (Hmmm... Would the above examples qualify under my definition?)

Vegas resident and Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil has had his name (using a licensing agreement?) on many Vegas ventures. Just how many have there been and how many are still in business? I remember reading that he was going to have some kind of high-end jet business that catered to high rollers or something. I don't think anything ever came of that one.

I noticed an ad, below a recent QOD answer, for Carrot Top’s show, and it got me to thinking (which is pretty troubling in of itself!), but who are the current longest-running headliners with their own shows on the Strip?

This "Sample Sunday" should be a treat for all you history buffs and "Old Vegas" fans out there, as we're excerpting from Las Vegas Review-Journal entertainment columnist Mike Weatherford's Cult Vegas, an illustrated celebration of the colorful characters and acts that established the city as the Entertainment Capital of the World.

What happened to all of the Star Trek props that were located in the Star Trek Experience in the old Las Vegas Hilton’s lower level?

What are the rules on topless pools and shows? Is every casino allowed to have them if they wish or is there an ordinance against it in certain areas? Could they have nude sunbathing at certain pools if the casino so desired?

Downtown on Fremont Street, there are so many different acts and costumed characters it reminds me of Disneyland. I see some that are really good and others seem to be there only to beg for money. Some, like the man with the saxophones and the painters, sell products. Others just stand there and get their pictures taken. Can they make a good living doing this? Are they licensed and are there any controls on their behavior?

I am coming to Vegas on June 15, with my wife and daughter. Are there any Father’s Day specials to take advantage of?

With the kickoff whistle set to blow 1 p.m. today, we revisit a QoD first submitted, and answered, in mid-May. Back then, we could respond only with some informed generalities, but now we can share the complete (as of this writing) lowdown, in answer to the question: "I'll be heading out to Vegas during the World Cup. Are there any soccer-fanatic bars in Vegas where I should go to catch a game?"
