Today's question on the Wizard of Oz (9/17/2016) brought to mind another answer that compared Las Vegas with other cities through history. I tried searching for it, but I couldn't find it. Or did I imagine it? If not, would you rerun it? Other readers might enjoy reading it again or for the first time.

What's the status of the Desert Inn time capsule? My understanding is that it was buried on the resorts 50th anniversary in the year 2000, just a few weeks before Steve Wynn bought the place. It was scheduled to be opened in 2050 I think. Does Steve have it? Or did he just build The Wynn on top of it and forget about it?

Is there anything left of "old" Vegas? Where you would wear suits and cocktail dresses in the evening to go to a show and gamble, reminiscent of the "Rat Pack" and before. I'm nostalgic for a time that I missed.

There are reports periodically about how lottery winners have fared, often tragically, after winning a large sum of money. With the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event final table approaching, I'm curious how past winners of this event have fared with their new-found multi-million dollar prize. Any parallels with lottery winners?

Regarding your recent QoD about Boulder City and the workers on the Hoover Dam, what was the 'Block 16' to which you referred?

In the recent Q&A about why there's no gambling in Boulder City, you said that there's another Nevada town -- Panaca?? -- with a gambling ban, but for totally different reasons. So, where is Panaca and why is there no gambling there?
