If I remember correctly The Fitz had a hunk of the Blarney stone on the second floor near some slot machines. It was supposed to be lucky. It wasn't - I patted the d@#& thing and then lost 25 cents in the slot machine next to it. Anyway, now that The Fitz is The "D", what happened to that hunk of rock? Or was it all blarney and the rock is now part of somebody's landscaping?

Usually when my wife and I go to Vegas its for shows but I thought maybe we could spend a day catching up on the latest movies. Do any of the casinos on the Strip have movie theaters in them?

At CityCenter there was a building that was not constructed safely and not occupied. To the best of my memory it was the Harmon. The last I heard was that it would be imploded or repaired but again I have not heard or seen if a decision has been made. An update should be interesting.

So … is the sidewalk closed on the IP/Flamingo side of the street or not? If it's closed, how is one to traverse from Harrah's down to the other Caesars properties (Paris-LV, Bill’s, Flamingo, Imperial Palace)?

My wife and I are going to be in Vegas Aug 3-8 staying at the Flamingo. Has construction on Linq started and will it affect our stay?

The first time I visited Las Vegas was in 1974 and I stayed at a Strip motel called The Gold Key Motel. I was wondering if you could give me any history on the place?

This week the Hard Rock in Tampa announced that it's become the sixth-largest casino in the world. Their unit of measure is the number of "seats" for slot players and at the tables. Is this a valid measurement or hype? Just how many units of measure are there anyway?

It was reported in February that the D was going to get a Sigma Derby game as part of its renovations. Anyone know if it’s been installed yet?

Love LVA and "Question of the Day." I read them every day. Quick question: In the monthly newsletter, you always give the "gambling win." For example the win/loss is up/down in Nevada, the Strip, Boulder Highway, etc. Is this "gambling win" the gross win by the casinos, the net win (wins minus losses), gross profit (net win minus other expenses), the drop, etc.? Should be an interesting answer. Just wondering.

My friend told me that her father owned the Tam O'Shanter next to the Sands when she was a young girl. I sort of remember it myself when I visited Vegas in the '50s and '60s. What can you tell me about it?
