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

I love looking at pictures of old Vegas. Just about every vintage casino picture I see has a sign promoting faro. It seems that back in the day faro was the game. Can you talk a bit about faro and how it went out of favor. Could it come back?

You mentioned the "legendary" Jackie Gaughan in a recent QoD, but I don't recall ever seeing an article about him, his background, whether he's still alive (I know he had health problems) and active. He always treated his employees with respect, and spoke to them and to customers in a friendly manner. He even did things for customers, like getting change for some elderly folks. How about some background and info about him?

Back around the mid-’80s, I remember one of the casinos in downtown Las Vegas had a massive, eightreel slot machine that was called "Big Bertha." Can you dig up any info/trivia?

A friend and I are starting to get more into playing poker in Las Vegas, on the Strip and downtown. Could you recommend a few books on poker that might be helpful and entertaining? Those we've looked at are too detailed for our level of experience and written in a pretty dry and boring style.

I saw that The D has a mechanical horse racing game. Do you know if they have any thing planned for the Kentucky Derby with this game? Only the Tropicana. It's near the race and sports book.

I heard a rumor that Green Valley Ranch is getting bingo. If true, when and at what location in the casino?

Do you have any information yet on specials at casinos with regards to the March Madness basketball tournament later in March?

Whatever happened to the Megabucks winner from the Aria that was contested because there was a dispute as to whose money was actually used when it won. This was between the boss and his secretary. He gave her some money with instructions on how to play the Megabucks. Apparently, she won but then the dispute started when she said she was using her money when she hit.

At the end of year the Silverton Casino stated with the upgrade of it's sports book that they would be reopening the poker room next door. Can you give us an update as to when it might open and any details about the room.
