There has been a lot of talk about the Plaza lately - the rooms, dining area, and casino. But I have not heard anything about the pool they have on the top floor. Is anything new happening there or is it "out of sight, out of mind"?

What was the name of the long ago strip property located near the Monte Carlo that had a large clown on the front of the building and behind the clown's head was either a ferris wheel or a roller coaster with characters riding in it? This property no longer exists.

On May 28th this year, you responded to my QoD and said this: "The Park predates the current writer's first visit to Las Vegas by almost a decade, but it apparently was a hotel-casino that formerly occupied the plot at 300 N. Main Street which, today, is part of Main Street Station. The Park existed only from 1987-1990 and could perhaps be the subject of a future QoD in its own right...." Any further thoughts?

Can you tell us anything about the Tally-Ho Hotel? I understand that it was an attempt to bring some decorum to the Strip.

Obviously the plans fell through, but what can you tell us about the proposals to build pedestrian tunnels instead of overpasses in the area of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard?

In the old TV show Vega$, where was Dan Tanna’s home and what type of building was it, as he seemed to park his car in the living room?

Reading the response to Friday's question about the gas station, and looking at the 1968 photograph, I'm wondering what was on the site previously of each of the current Strip hotels? For example, what hotels are now on the site of the old Desert Inn, Frontier, or Dunes hotels? It might even be interesting to go off-Strip a little. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Did there used to be a gas station where The Mirage and/or Treasure Island now stand, until the early '90s? I swear I can remember filling up there, in August 1990!

Years ago I went downtown and stayed at the Mint hotel and casino. What happened to the Mint?

I was trying to find some history on the Western Casino downtown. I could only find it opened in 1970. Jackie Gaughan and a partner owned it. It opened as the world’s largest bingo parlor. There must be much more to a 41-year-old downtown casino.
