Did the toxicology report on Danny Gans that you wrote about in the previous QoD (5/17/09) come back from the coroner's office? If so, did it turn up anything conclusive about Gans' cause of death?

I heard the Star Trek Experience re-opened on May 8th downtown on Fremont Street to coincide with the premiere of the new Star Trek movie. I also read the Trek rides are still in development and wouldn't open until 2010, and the museum artifacts are still in storage and Quark's Bar hasn't opened either. Appears to me there's not much to see at this point other than a gift shop. Is there anything actually to see at the new Star Trek Experience at this point?

With the recent tragic passing of Danny Gans, I got to thinking, has the Strip ever gone "dark" for an hour to mourn the passing of a Vegas celebrity, like Sinatra or Elvis? If so, I'd be interested in knowing who and how many.

I've noticed that most of Las Vegas' strip clubs are located away from the Strip. Are any strip clubs located among the main Strip casinos?

In your recent QoD on Danny Gans, you said he was named "Entertainer of the Year" 11 years in a row. Was this an award or a poll that he won, or was it bestowed on him by an organization or publication?

Why aren’t you saying anything about the death of Danny Gans?

In place of today’s previewed question about hotel key cards and identify theft, we’re running a different security-oriented question. The reason for the substitution is that this one’s topical, so we wanted to run the answer while it was still in the news. We’ll run the key card answer on 5/7/09. This question was also submitted by a journalist whose work we greatly admire, so we wanted to help out with the answer to his query asap – and we got a QoD out of it in the process!

I will be visiting Las Vegas and was looking for your opinion on a show that is filled with showgirls. The classic Vegas showgirls with dancing, big costumes, and over the top headpieces.

My co-workers and I have been expressing a bit of confusion over the offered and rejected brothel tax. Perhaps you could shed some light for those of us who don’t have a firm grasp on the topic. If the brothels want to pay taxes, why does the government refuse?

There are different "Rat Pack" shows around, both in Las Vegas and on tour. Since I understand David Cassidy owns the name and Sandy Hackett has some ownership as well, I’m trying to figure out what’s up. I saw the show at the Plaza and thought it was pure art. I saw the touring show and thought it was pure crap! For the love of God, please explain so those of us who are not lucky enough to live in Las Vegas can protect ourselves from subferior entertainment.
