Is Trump the owner of the empty lot across from the Wynn/Encore? Are there any definitive plans to build something on it or is likely to continue to be empty for the foreseeable future?

With the recent news about Las Vegas Sands Bethlehem casino site getting hacked and the ever disturbing updates about their entire system possibly being compromised, what's your information as to how bad it may be?

It was announced that The Cromwell will open on May 21st, so I checked out their website today. I was surprised that their casino floor included a section called 'The Abbey,' which is described as a reserved area with three table games. The room can be curtained-off for privacy – perfect for high-profile guests. In light of a recent incident where the Nevada Gaming Control Board filed a complaint against Aria for blocking two state gaming agents from observing wagering activity in the casino's high-limit area, it appears that such a 'reserved' gaming area with curtains would be a violation of Nevada's law to ensure that the public has access to gaming. Do you expect the GCB would be concerned about gaming occurring behind a curtain? Do other casinos have similar 'private' gaming areas to appeal to their high-profile guests?

POLL FEEDBACK: What recently departed or or soon-to-vanish element of "classic" Las Vegas do you miss the most, and why?

I have just spent many frustrating hours trying to co-ordinate my gambling log and the win-loss statements I’ve received from casinos where I played in 2013. I am so confused. None of the numbers on these statements match up with my own very detailed records. What figures should I use on my federal income tax return?

I enjoy my view of the Bellagio fountains from my room at Paris, but the booming gunshot like sounds coming from there must tick off more than just this guest. Have nearby hotels complained about the noise that the fountains cause?

Several years ago I heard Station Casinos was going to build "Durango Station" at Durango and 215. It was put in hold because of the economy. Now that things are getting better will this casino eventually be built? A casino is needed in that area.

Will Barry Manilow be in Vegas the week of June 8th thru June 13th, 2014? If so where and what are the times?

I have been watching "Vegas" episodes with Robert Urich on DVD. The late-’70s Vegas nostalgia is very intriguing to me since I was born in ’75. You often hear the name "Burt Cohen" being paged in casino scenes. Was that an inside joke?

I’ve always thought that the most likely days for casino patronage to be very low and very high to be one week apart: Namely, Christmas for the low and New Year’s Eve for the high. How close am I to being right?
