I was watching a little bit of Casino on cable TV yesterday, including a scene about the Las Vegas "Black Book" which bans people from entering a casino. Does that still exist? If it does, is there a way to find out who is in it?

I recently visited Vegas and observed that the latest themed slot machine is one featuring Britney Spears. Celebrity themed slot machines come and go in Vegas. I want to know what celebrity-themed slot machine has been the most popular down through the years until this present time?

Any truth to a local rumor that Caesars Entertainment wants to sell its interest in the Cincinnati Horseshoe location?

Of your featured blogs, James Grosjean's "Beyond Numbers" hasn't been updated since February 9th. What's up?

With the somewhat "normalization" of relations with Cuba, have you heard and rumblings about possible gaming activity moving onto the island?

As the World Series of Poker is in full swing at the Rio, I wonder what ever happened to all the talk of moving it to Caesars? Seems like the new CEO of Caesars would love the publicity the event brings to be focused on their premier property.

Dear LVA pros, if the Hi-Lo Lite count in Arnold Syder’s book Blackbelt in Blackjack uses a "true edge" rather than a "true count," how does this affect how I read the indices? For example, when Snyder's table says "stand on a 12 vs. 2 when you have a count of +2," does this mean a true count of +2 or a true edge of +2%? And if the table is using true-count numbers, what’s the point of using a true-edge calculation? How do I know what my 2% advantage in the true edge translates to in a true count?

What is the status of Dotty’s and their opening of casinos?

LVA reported that the fantasy event with Tony Romo at the Venetian was canceled due to the NFL flexing their muscle on Las Vegas policy. I noticed, however, that a similar event with Mike Ditka and Brandon Marshall and others scheduled for the following week at the Wynn, has of today not been canceled. What gives? Does Steve Wynn have some extra bit of clout?

What's the status of the IRS initiative to force casinos to issue W-2Gs for $600+ slot jackpots instead of $1,200+ (as they do now)? Is there anything we as players can do to voice our displeasure and help prevent this from happening?
