I wonder about why Sands Ave. becomes Spring Mountain at Las Vegas Blvd. and Twain at Paradise. Which came first? Spring Mountain, Twain, or Sands? If it was originally Spring Mountain or Twain when the Sands was built, ok, I get that. But if it was originally Sands (like Tropicana and Flamingo, named after adjacent hotel/casinos), why change to Spring Mountain on the west and Twain on the east?

Part 2 of the post Star Trek Las Vegas Hilton

I really loved it when the Star Trek Experience was at the Las Vegas Hilton. It seemed to me that there were always a lot of people there, and to some, like me, it was the primary reason we came to Vegas. (1) What happened to The Experience? Why did Paramount yank it? And (2) What happened to the LV Hilton? After the ST:E left, it seemed the hotel-casino went downhill. What happened to this once proud property that once hosted Elvis' return?

Of all the blackjack card-counting systems, which is the easiest to learn/use and which is the most accurate?

How long is appropriate to wait for a drink while sitting at a slot machine? The other day I wound up spending an extra $40 at the machine while waiting for my drink order. I should have just got up, but I feel bad about ordering and then leaving. Often times I don't order at all because I don't want to wait around. So, how long is appropriate to wait after ordering before I move on?

Several years ago, the incomparable Debbie Reynolds bought a casino in Vegas, which failed. What happened that it wasn’t a success?

Is there still a Playboy Club in one of the hotel casinos just off the Strip? If so, where is it located? If not, what years was it in operation?
