LVA sold a Las Vegas Daily 2005 image-a-day historical calendar several years back. The June 3 image featured a beautiful enormous Old-West-style bar in 1908 and said that "The Arizona Club ... had inside the most outstanding feature ... the massive $23,000 red-mahogany main bar, made by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company of Chicago ... The bar will end up in the Horn Room of the Last Frontier after the club closes in 1941." Does anyone know if the bar was salvaged from the Last Frontier, or was it lost in the demolition?

Walking down the street, between Bally's and Bill's (on the way to Ellis Island), we noticed on the sidewalk in front of an empty lot, all these great jazz artists names in the sidewalk in gold lettering. What was there? This has been bothering me for about a year.

In the June issue of the Las Vegas Advisor, you say that the name of the Joe Pesci character in the movie Casino was Tommy DeVito. I haven't seen the movie in a while, but I could have sworn that Joe Pesci's character was named Nicky Santoro.

With gold worth so much these days, is Nevada a lot richer from taxes on the gold mining there?

Last night I saw a report on the news that said that Las Vegas is going to start towing icebergs from the Arctic to supply enough water for all the growth. It sounds like a hoax to me. Is it true?
