I drove past a motel sign on the center divider of Las Vegas Blvd. near El Cortez. I think it said "Elvis slept here." Was that motel anything special and did Elvis really sleep there? I wish I had caught the motel name but I was driving and apparently I'm not good with multi-tasking :-(

My husband and I usually visit Las Vegas from Canada once a year and we have seen many changes over the past 15 years. This year we are bringing my father, who has not been there in that 15-year time frame. What have been the biggest changes in the intervening years? What are the best new things to put on Dad's "to-do" list and what are the remaining old favorites, now that places like the Sands, Stardust, and Frontier are gone? P.S. As a self-proclaimed Vegas Trivia Addict, I love reading the Question of the Day. Thanks!

The first time I visited Las Vegas was in 1974 and I stayed at a Strip motel called The Gold Key Motel. I was wondering if you could give me any history on the place?

Showgirls are one of the icons of Las Vegas, but they seem to be disappearing from anything except ads and Oscar Goodman's arms. Other thant Jubilee!, which shows actually use iconic Las Vegas showgirls today?

My friend told me that her father owned the Tam O'Shanter next to the Sands when she was a young girl. I sort of remember it myself when I visited Vegas in the '50s and '60s. What can you tell me about it?

I love watching movies and TV shows shot in Vegas. I've noticed in the older films that people stood while playing slot machines. Now, almost every slot has a chair. When did this happen? Who started it? How fast did everyone else copy it?

In a recent issue of Time magazine, there's a picture of "Old Vegas". It's titled Sin City, circa 1955, and it's from the Life.com gallery of pictures. I recognize the Golden Nugget but not much else. Seems to me the GN should be on the right side of the picture. Can you help identify the other casinos/signs in the picture? Thank you.
