Las Vegas resort-casino opening attractions and their fate: Part II

I was just in Vegas, walking through the front entrance to Excalibur, and had a vague memory of a show in the moat out there. It seems like most modern hotel/casinos opened with some sort of a free show or attraction. The pirate show at TI, Bellagio Fountains, Mirage Volcano, Lions at MGM, etc. I was wondering if you could put together a rundown of all the current properties, what attraction (if any) they opened with, and how many of those attractions still operate.

Whatever became of the Flamingo Reno? I spent one night there in 1991, on a road trip from California to the Midwest; it was the first time I played Video Poker! My room tab was $29 (no resort fee!).

With the Riveria closing at noon today (5/4/2015) I wonder what the closing procedures and timing are? Do the machines shut off at 12 noon? Do the table games stop? When do the restaurants stop serving, when must the guests vacate. and what other procedures take place?

Where is the Stardust sign??

Was there any connection between the Royal Nevada (1950s), Royal Las Vegas (now known as Royal Resort, 99 Convention Center Dr.) and the Royal Inn (most recently known as the Clarion, 305 Convention Center Dr., which was just demolished)? I find it strange that all three addresses were within a half-mile of each other and at least two of them were open at the same time.
