I understand that Lorena Peril has recently left from her lead role in Fantasy at the Luxor. Do they have a permanent replacement for her yet? Knowing that name recognition sells tickets, are they going to try to bring in someone like when they had Angelica Bridges as the headliner, or similar to the strategy followed with Peepshow?

Today we'll tackle two related questions in one: "On the recent Las Vegas "Bar Rescue" show, they 'rescued' Gypsy, the first gay bar to ever open in Las Vegas. At the end of the show, I see where the owner did not like the change and three days later closed the bar. Who pay for all the renovation costs and what happens when some owner decides he knows more than expert Jon Taffer and either changes the bar back or, in this case, closes the doors forever?" and: "Just curious: Did Bar 702 keep its great video poker pay tables after it was reborn from the old Sand Dollar (thanks to the show "Bar Rescue")?

With the recent commercial success of Imagine Dragons and The Killers (both Las Vegas bands who cut their teeth playing in town), how can a music-lover stay abreast of other bands playing around town who may be good enough to make it to the big time? (How awesome is would have been to see either of these bands before they got so popular...)

Several years ago, I was invited to the Magic Show in the lower levels of Caesars Palace. Although it is gone now, what was the history of that show and why was it closed?

Can you update us on the most recent "transformation" at the Gold Spike? My wife and I dropped in there last week, during the day and were a bit surprised to be staring at the "centrepiece" of what is apparently a new style of club...a very large bed!

We went to see Priscilla Queen of The Desert on Wednesday evening and really enjoyed the show. However we found out that the run has been cut short and is ending this weekend. We could not find out any reason for this and wondered if you could throw any light on it.

What nightclubs offer live blackjack? What are the procedures for bypassing the lines to get to the tables?

I was sorry to read about the tragic death of performer in KA. What does this mean for the future of the show, and for other shows on the Strip? Will the show close, or continue on? (It's still a great show, despite the tragedy). And please forgive my morbid curiosity but is this the first time a performer has been killed during a live performance in Las Vegas? The nearest I can think of is Evel Knievel being severely injured jumping over the fountain at Caesars Palace.

Can you give me info on the zip-line that is opening at the Rio.

I will be in Vegas on the Fourth of July. Can you tell me if anything special will be going on and the schedule for the fireworks?
