I’ve got a bet with a friend of mine. I say that the old Silver City Casino was entirely smoke free at one time. I know it’s not there any longer. It was located just a short walk from the Riviera. Help me on this one if you can.

Is Little Caesars still in business? Also I heard that the late Bob Stupak took $1 million cash in the place and made a bet on the Super Bowl. Is that true?

Your answer to the Battista QoD made me wonder, what’s the story with the liquor store nearby? They proudly proclaim on their sign that they have 20 some years left on their lease. Does the owner have a Harrah’s grudge?

Is it true the Castaways (Showboat) hotel closed on the weekend prior to the Super Bowl? Why was Castaways unable to compete?

Can we get a Ted Binion update? Is Rick Tabish out of prison? What about Sandy Murphy? After watching the movie, it left a lot of questions.

Battista's was the first restaurant my wife and I ate at on our first trip to LV in the '80s and we always try and go back once each trip. My question is who was/is Battista? He seems to have had his photo taken with every celebrity of the '60s and '70s. He seems to have thought he was quite the athlete.

I remember a while back you guys posted a story about the Jockey Club and how it’s still standing while CityCenter is built around it. I posted a picture up on flickr of the Jockey Club and had a comment pop up... I want to make sure that my explanation was correct, that the reason was due to the Jockey Club having a couple thousand(?) owners? Here’s the actual goings on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mkotich/3971127416/ I’ve put in a couple links for you guys in my response. If you could remind me, or even just reply in-thread, that’d be great.

Have you ever had a question that you just could not find an answer? A few years ago, there was a small casino-restaurant at (and this may be why I can't find the answer) the southwest corner of Paradise and Flamingo (at least I think that was the location) that had a wreck of an airplane just outside the main entrance. The plane had a double tail. Can you tell me the name of this place? You may save what is left of my sanity. Thank you. P.S. They served big, cheap hamburgers.

Do you know if La Concha accepted black guests when it opened in 1961?

We were told if anyone can help us it would be the Las Vegas Advisor. Do you know who may still offer the card game pan?
