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.

This "Sample Sunday" should be a treat for all you history buffs and "Old Vegas" fans out there, as we're excerpting from Las Vegas Review-Journal entertainment columnist Mike Weatherford's Cult Vegas, an illustrated celebration of the colorful characters and acts that established the city as the Entertainment Capital of the World.

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.)

Now that the El Sombrero has closed, what are the three oldest restaurants in Las Vegas?

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!"

Camels: The Trilogy (Part I). We have, seemingly coincidentally, received a number of camel-related Questions of the Day lately, so we've decided to string together a camel train, so to speak, commencing with an updated re-run of an interesting QoD about live ones that first ran back in August, 2007. Stay tuned for more tales of even-toed ungulates in coming days!
