In the April LVA, you refer to an "insta-comp" at Rampart. Earn 1,000 same-day points ($2,000 coin-in) and get a comp for a choice of four different meals. You say the expected loss is less than $10. Can you explain how that is calculated?

Is it true you're the longest-staying guest in the history of the Rio (as per @LVA_Tweet? If so, please provide some juicy details!

How come I haven’t seen any solar panels on homes in Las Vegas area?

LVA reported that the fantasy event with Tony Romo at the Venetian was canceled due to the NFL flexing their muscle on Las Vegas policy. I noticed, however, that a similar event with Mike Ditka and Brandon Marshall and others scheduled for the following week at the Wynn, has of today not been canceled. What gives? Does Steve Wynn have some extra bit of clout?

I was thinking of staying at the Monte Carlo the beginning of August. However what is the situation with the building work there? Is there much noise from the AEG Arena being built at the back? Is the front entrance open to the Strip? How is the Park affecting the casino? I would appreciate an update on everything going on there and a few photos of the front if possible. Thanks!

I stopped for breakfast in Wendover on my way back to Reno from Salt Lake City. I hadn’t been there before and noticed a Peppermill Casino. Just how many Peppermill Casinos are there? Are they owned by same entity or do they have different owners? And if the latter, how do they all get to say they are the Peppermilll?
