Recently, in Atlantic City, I visited a new casino: Revel. The new hotel, which just opened this spring, is a giant, 59-story building right on the ocean. Other than that, it doesn’t offer anything that other resorts don’t already provide. Given the state of the casino industry, and Atlantic City’s shrinking fortunes, why would anyone invest in this type of project now?

The concluding part to the history of Binion's Million Dollar Display, continued from Wednesday.

What was the first casino in Las Vegas to have a buffet?

I know that Antonio Esfandiari won the "Big One" tournament but I was wondering if he had any backers that shared in the 18+ million winnings? If you have time how do 'backer' work?

I read your QoD every day. What I would like to know is, I have a lot of match books and boxes from all the old casinos in Las Vegas and Rneo. Some of the casinos are gone. Are they worth anything? I also have some from new casinos. Should I keep or get rid of them?

Could you please list all of the available casino player clubs? I have quite a few players club cards and want to find out which ones I should still get.

Can you please tell me when the new Beach Boys-themed "Good Vibrations" restaurant will open at Bally's?

You mentioned in your Today's News column the other day that MGM and Caesars are billions and billions of dollars in debt. Can you tell us why?

Did Ilario Pesco, General Mgr. at Bally's Steak House and Sterling Brunch, really retire last month? After 40+ years at all the MGM (now Bally's) famed Restaurants: Seasons, Gigi's, Steakhouse, Al dente, just to name a few, -- the ambiance is not the same without him greeting you at the door in his tux.

Years ago, I saw a show at the Stardust, which I think was called "Enter The Night." It featured a variety of acts, including a caged motorcycle act and a superb laser light show (which seemed to be the "thing" in Vegas shows at the time). Can you give any information on the show, including where some of the acts are now? This show impressed me as being one of the best I saw here.
