I'm a Vegas limo driver and recently drove a wedding couple and their friends to Bellagio after their wedding because they wanted to take pictures in the Conservatory and by the Fountains. While by the fountain show, a Bellagio security guard came up and informed them that wedding pictures were not permitted anywhere on the property. I'm not sure why this is a rule or why you can take pictures anywhere on the property unless you're in a wedding gown, but this is what they were told. Do you have any clue why this rule exists?

I noticed an ad, below a recent QOD answer, for Carrot Top’s show, and it got me to thinking (which is pretty troubling in of itself!), but who are the current longest-running headliners with their own shows on the Strip?

What is the connection (if any) between Bally's Hotel & Casino, Bally Gaming (manufacturers of slot machines), Bally Total Fitness (a chain of gyms)? I seem to recall Bally making bowling machines, also.

What happened to the TV show, Poker After Dark? Is it done locally or is it all gone? Stations here no longer show it. I liked the pros playing for winner take all.

There was a TV show about Las Vegas around two years ago showing what Las Vegas was like back in the Fifties and Sixties when the mob ran it. They talked a lot about the Milwaukee mob and the influence it had. Did the Milwaukee mob really have that much influence on Las Vegas? I thought Chicago was the big gun.

Starting from one end of the Strip to the other, would it be possible to match up the casinos of today with the casinos that used to be at that location in the past, say in the '60s, '70s, or '80s? For example, what casino did Bellagio replace, or the Cosmopolitan, etc.? (Even mentioning the name changes would be great, e.g., the Aladdin was renamed Planet Hollywood.)

I have stayed at many hotels in Vegas over the past 30 years and recall that only one swimming pool, at Bally's, is deeper than 4 feet. Are there any other pools at hotels that are similar to Bally's, which was over 6 feet deep in some places?

In Part II of our "Camel Trilogy," to be concluded on Sunday (after Saturday's Poll Results), we tackle the recently received query: "What became of the infamous talking camels from the Luxor-Mandalay Bay shopping-bridge walkway? They were hilarious!"
