I recently wrote you asking, "Where did the King Tut Museum go?" I found it at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum downtown! So, now I must ask, what else did they remove from Luxor in 2008 to de-theme it, besides the "excavation site" at the buffet? What remains there that's Egyptian-themed (besides the Sphinx)?

Regarding the 2-10-2012 QoD concering the Hilton sign: I recall reading many stories through the years where it is stated that virtually all Las Vegas casino signs are made by YESCO (Young Electric Sign COmpany), and their manufacturing contracts are written in such a way that YESCO is the permanent owner of the sign. I recall that the YESCO "salvage" yard is 10 times as large as what the Neon Museum has, and is several miles outside of town. Is there any truth to this?

I remember in the '90s that there was a casino in Reno (on Virginia St.) that had an upstairs room of vintage slot machines that you could play. Do you happen to know the casino's name and the whereabouts of those vintage machines now?
