What exactly is a casino host and how does one go about getting one?

The old Holiday Inn Riverboat casino is now Harrah's, the old MGM is now Bally's, the San Remo is now Hooters, the Barbary Coast is now Bill's Gamblin’ Hall and Saloon, the Aladdin is now the Planet Hollywood. Are there any other resorts that escaped the imploders’ explosives and basically just went through some renovations, then "reopened" under the new name?

What are the Las Vegas streets named for celebrities.

I was wondering whatever happened to my favorite Vegas pizza place called The Leaning Tower of Pizza? What year did they close and did they move somewhere else?

I remember a movie from the '60s that had a giant man walking down Fremont street. He was as tall as the "Vegas Vic". The army was after him. Would you know the name of this movie?

Everyone knows the iconic symbol of old Las Vegas, Vegas Vic on Fremont Street. Right across from him, is it "Vegas Vicky" or "Sassy Sally"? I have heard both stated and have read in the Las Vegas newspapers both names. Which is correct?

The Consumer Electronics Show took place last month (Jan 7-10). I have attended this conference in the past and was wondering how large the attendance was this year? For many years, the last full week before Thanksgiving was always COMDEX week. I attended several of those from the late ‘90s through its final year in 2003. In its heyday it had quite an effect on room rates and shows. At its peak I think the attendance exceeded 200,000. I was curious, was that the largest convention Las Vegas (or maybe anywhere else) has ever had?

I remember reading an article in Rolling Stone magazine that the owner of CBGB's planed on moving the 'joint' to Vegas after its closing in New York. This included everything in the place...even the toilets. Any updates on the relocation?

I have never read anything about Kenny Kerr's "Boylesque" on Question of the Day. It played at the Silver Slipper and then I think the Stardust. I believe it was before Frank Marino’s "La Cage." Please inform some of us old Las Vegas patrons on this question.

Regarding today's (12/18/09) about Binion's casino, it has been said that Becky Behnen was largely to blame for the downfall of Binion's Horseshoe. It is my understanding that control of the hotel-casino was transferred to her after Ted's death. I have read Jim McManus' Positively 5th Street and loved the book, but lost track of the history after that. What is Becky blamed for? Specifically, what did she do to the 'Shoe that could have been avoided to keep it running smoothly? It would be a shame if the Vegas icon had to shut its doors and got lost in the history of the city.
