What was the "Dome of the Sea" restaurant and where was it? I just bought a circa 1975 Las Vegas board game from a resale shop, and since the Dome is mentioned as one of the pieces of real estate that can be "purchased" while playing, I'm now curious about it's history, especially since it doesn't seem to exist anymore.

I recently read something regarding the closing of the Luxor Nile River attraction in 1995 and that while the official line is that it was closed due to an upgrading of the property, one of the real reasons for the closing was that there were ghost sightings by customers of workers killed during the construction. This is sweet (not that the people died, of course, but the fact that they were possibly haunting tourists)! Tell me more, please. Do these ghosts ever show up in any of the other areas of the Luxor?

In the early '80s the Jockey Club had an excellent bar and a small but very good menu. They built a small casino but it never opened. I know it was a timeshare deal. What's the story behind this whole thing?
