Mike Weatherford on entertainment at the Stardust.

Last July we ran a QoD about the history of the Stardust sign -- many people's favorite example of Las Vegas neon. As part of our "Stardust Week," we're running that answer again, in an updated form, in case you missed it the first time.

The thrilling conclusion to the epic Stardust answer.

Stardust Saga, continued.

I understand the Stardust is due for implosion in March. Can you give some history on the joint? A friend of mine thought it had some connection to the Chicago organized-crime scene. True?

With the rapid growth of Las Vegas, are there concerns that the city will reach a saturation point, bringing room rates, shows, meals, etc. prices down? What do you think that saturation point is?

My mother loved to go to Las Vegas when she was alive. She always remembered a restaurant called the Green Shack, where she claimed to know the owner. I haven’t been able to find anything about it. Can you help?

I just heard that Hooters has been sold. Is that true and if so, who bought it?

I found an old gaming chip from the long-gone Marina Hotel. What was its history, and what replaced it on the Strip?

I know the Top 10 Values has been a feature of the LVA since 1983, but would like to know what bargains were included on the original list?
