I love looking at pictures of old Vegas. Just about every vintage casino picture I see has a sign promoting faro. It seems that back in the day faro was the game. Can you talk a bit about faro and how it went out of favor. Could it come back?

The "legendary" Jackie Gaughan: Part II

We want to hear more about the haunting at the Luxor. You mentioned in a recent QoD that three workers were killed and haunted the barge ride. Thanks guys.

I was wondering if there is any place in Vegas that has a 24-hour buffet? Couldn't find one on my last visit and for a town that never sleeps, was thinking there might be one. If not, has there ever been one?

Who took Frank Rosenthal's place at the Stardust casino after he left?

In the May 24th news you stated the Tony Roma's, where Frank Rosenthal was car-bombed, had closed. My memory was always that the Tony Roma's was in the movie "Casino," but the actual restaurant was a Marie Callender's. Just because I was curious I checked and found the original story from the Las Vegas Sun, and it too states Marie Callender's. I have seen other stories that list this as Tony Roma's, so, it makes me wonder. Did this location change, or is there confusion on this issue?

Back around the mid-’80s, I remember one of the casinos in downtown Las Vegas had a massive, eightreel slot machine that was called "Big Bertha." Can you dig up any info/trivia?

The Dunes, Sands, New Frontier, Sahara, the Desert Inn are all iconic Vegas casino names that regrettably are no longer with us, but which still retain a strong nostalgic pull for many Vegas visitors. With new resorts in the pipeline with eyebrow-raising names like Resort World, I wondered if you could update us on who owns the intellectual property rights to the names of those (and other) old classic Vegas casinos and the likelihood that someone might resurrect one of them in the near/distant future? Thanks!

On the drive from Las Vegas back to California, there’s an exit sign for an unpronounceable town by the name of Zzyzx and I’ve always wondered where on earth that name came from (and how do you say it?) Can you help? Thanks!

In reference to the build-up of the North Strip with SLS and Resorts World Las Vegas being planned, wasn't there another Asian-themed hotel/casino planned, perhaps just off the Strip on Sahara? Is this project still in the pipeline?
