What is happening with the building on Sahara and Las Vegas Blvd. The black one with the pink awnings that has been vacant forever across from the Sahara? I see they are tearing it completely down. What is going there in its place?

The "Question of the Day" concerning the number of hotel rooms in Las Vegas opened up other questions in my mind. Does revenue from hotel rooms stand alone in determining profit or loss for a hotel/casino, or is it lumped with other entities like food service and casino income?

My friends just came back from Vegas and saw a great '80s rock band at Mandalay Bay. They thought the name was Steel Panthers, do you know anything about the group and when they perform? Thanks.

I have a photo (that I can send you) of an ad in Entertainment Weekly for "Pawn Stars". It shows the guys in front of the Four Queens, except it looks like the marquee has been changed to read Four Kings. What's up with that?

I was curious how many total hotel rooms each of the major casino companies (not hotels) has in Las Vegas. For example, how many rooms does MGM Resorts or Caesars Entertainment have to fill each night? What about Station Casinos or Boyd Gaming? Or even Wynn or the Venetian? In terms of marketing, the sheer volume of rooms to fill every day must be enormous.

Did Carlos and Charlies open yesterday in the Flamingo? If not, is there a projected date?

I recently wrote you asking, "Where did the King Tut Museum go?" I found it at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum downtown! So, now I must ask, what else did they remove from Luxor in 2008 to de-theme it, besides the "excavation site" at the buffet? What remains there that's Egyptian-themed (besides the Sphinx)?

We visited Las Vegas the last week of March and we knew about some of the halt of construction on the Strip. Could you update us on the status of the progress of the casinos that are partially built as to their names and locations on the Strip? Are some going to be finished and opened, especially the one with the large blue windows?

What performer or act had the distinction of the "final" performance at the Sahara?

If the spa at the Palms has closed, what are their fitness center availabilities? That was one of the benefits of their resort fee, and was a very nice gym to use while staying there. Access was through the spa, so I am curious now!
