My familly is traveling to Las Vegas this summer and we're taking along my mother-in-law, who's never been to Las Vegas. All she wants to do is see the Liberace Museum. We've heard the name, but don't really know anything about him or his museum. Can you enlighten us?

I’ve seen a few references to Claudine Williams recently passing away. They say she was a gambling pioneer in Las Vegas. I’m sure I’m wrong, but I thought she was a French torch singer married to Andy Williams. Who was Claudine Williams and what did she have to do with Las Vegas?

With the recent tragic passing of Danny Gans, I got to thinking, has the Strip ever gone "dark" for an hour to mourn the passing of a Vegas celebrity, like Sinatra or Elvis? If so, I'd be interested in knowing who and how many.

One of my memories of my first trip to Las Vegas was seeing the picketers outside of The New Frontier. I remember hearing that they had been there for years. Can you tell me about the history of the labor action, how long it went on for and how is was resolved?
