In the Today's News section on 9/19 you referenced the NGC's Black Book. The new entry to the book was for #36. If this book is for slot cheats it seems that there should be way more names than 36. What is this Black Book and how do you get into it? (Not that I want to get in it!) Thanks.

How did Frank Rosenthal get his nickname "Lefty" in spite of the fact he was right-handed?

We just returned from Las Vegas and noticed the Aladdin has been replaced by Planet Hollywood. It hasn't been that long since we were staying at Polo Towers while the Aladdin was being constructed. Was the Aladdin remodeled, or torn down and a completely new hotel/casino built? Just curious.

Where is Woodlawn Cemetery in Las Vegas and what famous Las Vegas people have their final resting place there?

Question one (from one submitter): I believe in 1978 we stayed at the Holiday Inn Center Strip. What is now at this location? Question two (from a second submitter): In a number of TV shows, films, etc., we have often seen what appears to be a hotel/casino shaped like a paddleboat somewhere on the Strip. We come to Vegas every year for our two-week vacation, but have never seen or even heard about it whilst there. I am sure you can put us out of our misery.

I understand that all of Harrah's Casinos in Vegas are pulling IGT Megabucks Progressive machines. What casinos in Vegas still have those progressive slots? How often do they actually hit?

Regarding the QoD of 9/9, the "trailer station" at the Queen of Hearts never materialized on Aug. 13. I was there, as was at least one other LVA member; I stopped by around 8 a.m., again around noon, and again around 3 p.m.. Nothing. Any idea what happened?

I was talking to a few people that said they stayed at South Coast. Where is it or where was it?
