I just read an article in a poker magazine regarding an incident that took place at the 2006 WSOP Main Event. Apparently, during a "coloring-up" phase, a player was mistakenly given an extra $2,000,000 in chips! The Harrah's employee that made this mistake was terminated. However, the article does not say who the player was that received this "gift" and whether or not he or she finished in the money. Can you provide any further details?

In the Oct. 7th Q of Day you stated: "It won't be the first enigma hereabouts. Nevada, which has been called 'a vortex of the unexplained,' is home to a number of puzzlements that have occurred over the years." Is there a book or a Web site where I can read about other unexplained occurrences?

Any news about progress on the Lady Luck?

On our last trip to Las Vegas we saw a "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign out along the Boulder Highway. We always knew about the one on Las Vegas Blvd., south of Mandalay Bay but -- are there more of them?

I’ve heard that the Las Vegas Strip is a National Scenic Byway. Is this just an official designation, or does it actually mean something?

In your QoD on the Burning Man festival, you mentioned that the sound barrier was broken on land out there for the first time in 1997? That seems like a such big deal that it's curious that I, and presumably a lot of readers, never heard about it. Can you tell us the story?

On our last trip to Vegas, we made the journey to Ellis Island. The visit provoked the memory process into wondering what happened to the expansion they were undergoing a few years back with Michael Jordan as an investor?

My question stems from a cocktail book that I picked up illustrating a history of Las Vegas. What can you tell me about a casino called the Moulin Rouge? All I have read is that it was the first integrated casino. Where was it located? The book neglected to tell us that.

What factor(s) caused a decrease in the number of entrants in this year WSOP Main Event?

What ever happened to the Showboat Hotel & Casino? It changed to Castaways and from there I don't know what happened to it. Is it open as something else or did it get torn down to be replaced?
