A year or so ago, you reported that for the first time in history, casinos took in more revenue from non-casino sources than from gambling. I just read a report by the American Gaming Association (AGA) that states that ‘more than two-thirds of industry revenue is generated on the casino floor, while the remaining third is generated via the food and beverage, hotel and other lines of business within the commercial casino properties.’ So which is correct? I know that you can make statistics say anything you want, but am I interpreting these two statements wrong?

What is the deal with the Jockey Club? I cannot believe it is still able to exist on such a prized piece of land wedged in the middle of Cosmo and Bellagio.Why wouldn’t MGM or the original developer of Cosmo buy it? Who owns it? I found their website and they still rent rooms apparently. I have wondered this for a while and really tweaked my interest last visit. Thank you!

How can a person find out what casinos have their favorite slot machines? I know Boyd casinos maintain an online listing and search, but how about others? Also, is there a central listing anywhere for Las Vegas?

Perusing a few of the downtown casinos' websites, I noticed more than a few job openings. Are the number of job seekers for each position still in the hundreds, as they seemed to be a few years ago at the height of the recession, or has some form of sanity returned to the Vegas job market?

I see the Vegas High Roller is really taking shape and I heard on the news it is now 80 percent complete. Is the project ahead of schedule? When is it expected to open and how will it compare to London's wheel?

Hi there - just wondering what the state of play is with The Delano overhaul of THEhotel? How is it progressing, what are the disruption levels, what has changed (both in the hotel itself and the rooms) and has it been renamed yet and, if so, what to? Thanks!

Just wondered how many acres of land the larger casinos on the Strip occupy? Seems like MGM Grand and Caesars Palace would have the most but maybe not. I always think about it when I visit.
