What’s happening with the huge Brazilian festival that was announced for Vegas awhile back? I seem to recall reading that there was a special venue being built on the Strip somewhere and that MGM Grand was involved, but there have been so many announcements about new concert venues and arenas and festivals that I can't keep up with what's actually happening and what isn't. I don't seem to have heard any updates about this one so did I just imagine the whole thing or was it canceled or ??? Help!

I’m strictly a Vegas gal, but it seems like lately quite a few casinos are closing in Atlantic City. Can you provide us a quick recap of how many casinos are there, which ones have closed, and any other crystal ball information?

The QoD on 8/29/14 described the London Club as the first Las Vegas "casino within a casino." What others are there or have there been?

On May 19, 2014 in my email I saw the following in a QoD email from LVA: 'Has there ever been a strip club in Vegas in a casino?' When I clicked on the link, it was a totally different question. When are we going to get the answer?

Since Caesars has replaced all of its video poker and keno machines over the last three years or so, it seems as if the programming has changed. It’s almost like the system is comparing money-in to money-out. It feels like it’s much tougher to get any type of hand, and when you do, it seems you get dead hands to make up for the payout. Get a flush, then lose nine hands in a row. Get a straight, then lose seven hands in a row. Getting a hand that pays more than your bet seems to happen much less. Has there been a change in the way the program works? Could the new machines be disallowing hands if you just won something or if more has been paid out than taken in?

I noticed at Veer Towers crews were removing exterior "fins" on both buildings. What is going on?

The recent residency QODs have me wondering about Debbie Reynolds' history in Vegas. I know for awhile she owned a small off-Strip casino where she performed but how did all of that come about? We saw Kenny Kerr at her showroom but the casino seemed too small (with few machines and possibly no table games) to have ever generated any revenue.

Which casino in Las Vegas has the most gaming space?

What ever happened to the famous $5 million and $10 million chips from the London Club?

I just read in our local morning paper that a NH couple hit the jackpot of $2.4 million at the MGM on the ’Lion’s Share’ slot machine. Do I recall correctly, that this was the last machine of its type, and was only still around because the jackpot had not been hit? If this is the case, will the machine now be ’retired?’ Thanks!
