As a follow-up to the recent resort fee QOD, have you heard anything further about the Federal Trade Commission's investigation of resort fees (and other "bundled" fees)? I have heard the very occasional murmuring about a Federal Trade Commission probe, but very little actual information. I absolutely hate the resort fees and find them to be nothing but a money grab, especially when you are surprised by them at check-in or check-out. I am now a Vegas local but I am quite sure my previous annual trips here would have diminished due to the fees.

Can you please provide a list of non resort-fee hotels? Thank you.

I just had a wonderful trip to Vegas and I noticed the neon writing on the top side of "The Mirage" hotel and the writing on the top side of the "Wynn" appear to be penned by the same hand. Is that correct and if so, do you know who's handwriting the neon signs were modeled after? Thanks!

I just returned from seeing The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage. I have seen this show more than five times over the years. We recognized some of the performers but many appear new. Do they have back-up performers to fill in for sickness and holidays? What is the turnover rate on the show?

I've learned to disregard the customary Bugsy Siegel mythology, as it pertains to the Las Vegas Strip and the Flamingo. We all know that Siegel didn’t really create Las Vegas, and that the Flamingo was not the first casino on U.S. 91. In fact, some sources maintain that Siegel came to the Flamingo project late, after Billy Wilkerson had broken ground and was seeking help with funding and access to building materials. I have even read versions of the story that give Wilkerson credit for naming the property. But in a book I’m currently reading (When the Mob Ran Vegas), the author maintains that Siegel was on board from the beginning, and was even responsible for securing the land from Margaret Folsom via Moe Sedway. Now I don’t know what to believe concerning the origins of the Flamingo. Can you help separate fact from legend?

What is going to happen in Indian Springs? The casino-hotel gas station and RV park are now sold to the base. Rumor has it that a new complex will be built across the street somewhere. Is this true? I stayed at the RV park and played the casino while visiting my sister in Cold Springs. I'd like to do it again.

What would a Caesars bankruptcy mean for casino players? Should we be running to cash in rewards credits before the likely January filing?

I have been visiting Las Vegas since November 1999. It seems like when I first started coming out, I recall a short tram from Mirage, or somewhere in that area, going toward Bellagio. Am I just confused and thinking about the one from Mirage to Treasure Island? Did MGM properties have one on that side of the Strip that was removed?

We recently visited the buffet at the Cosmo in Vegas and noticed that they do a take-out deal for $20, which is excellent value. That got us thinking about how many other buffets in Vegas offer take-out to their customers?

Hello! Anything happening with Resorts World Las Vegas? Last I heard was in April or so, and construction was to begin sometime in the summer. However, haven't heard a thing about it since. When do they plan on opening?
