I was reading an advertisement for M Life recently and noted that it did not list Circus Circus as a participating property. As I recall, Circus Circus became part of the MGM empire when they merged with Mandalay. Does Circus Circus have its own players club? Or are they not worth mentioning in an M Life advertisement?

Hundred dollar bills in Vegas are as abundant as snow in MN in winter. How many counterfeit bills are found by the casinos each year?

Just curious as to the progress on the Golden Gate remodel and tower project. When is it projected to be done and is it on schedule?

Caesars is spending in excess of $500 million on the Linq project and is now eyeing Toronto as a potential site for a new resort. My question is, with all this new building going on why did they let the Margaritaville Hotel & Casino project die in Biloxi? After four years it is still just a huge slab of concrete on the beach. Grand Biloxi is a poor substitute and does about half the business of the Beau Rivage or Hard Rock (just one mile down the road) on a normal weekend.

I have been coming to Las Vegas 3-4 times a year for 20 years and avoid the Strip at all costs. I like to stay at the locals casinos (South Point, Stations, Ellis Island, etc.) Are there any stats on how many out-of-towners do as I do?

Your QOD of May 17 spoke to the impact of the new Ohio casinos in Detroit. However, the new casino in Cincinnati may have a bigger impact on the Indiana casino business as there are like two or three casinos within minutes of Cincinnati. Wouldn't Indiana feel a greater impact?

Now that pool season has begun, is there a health code regarding bringing your own food, snacks, soda, water, etc. into a pool area? Friends of ours were staying at Tahiti Village (time-share) last week and were not allowed to take snacks, soda, water into the pool area. Their bags were searched everytime and they could only purchase these items on the premises. They were cited a health code, but it had never happened before. New health code, or a scam?

When I started reading about Vegas I had wanted to go to the Reserve Hotel & Casino, that later became the Fiesta Henderson. I made it out there just after it had changed to FH. The Reserve sign was still in the parking lot and the hotel rooms were still jungle-themed. It seemed like such a cool gimmick. Can you give the history of the Reserve and who owned it.

Just returned from a trip to the Palms. With the pending closure of the Playboy Club, what will happen to the Playboy store at the ground level of the Fantasy Tower? Also, will they be removing the bunny from the Fantasy tower? Has there been any update on what they will turn the club space into? Enjoy all the QODs. Thanks.

I have a bunch of chips I forgot to cash in before I left town. I called the three casinos that I had chips from and two said that it was against the law for them to buy via mail and one said "no problem". Is there a law preventing a casino from buying my chips back through the mail?
