I was sent an e-mail from one of the leading hotels, re availability of Year of the Dragon, lucky $8 poker chips. Are these available from all Las Vegas hotels? And are they available in other denominations?

A couple of years ago your office had a story about your view of the Strip being blocked by the building of some hotel, a Westin, I believe? At any rate, was that hotel/building every completed? I don’t remember all of the details, just that your view would be blocked once the building gained height as it was constructed.

Back in September, you told us that MGM Grand wasn’t going to close its Lion Habitat. But now I see it’s going to be shut down at the end of January. What happened?

Have you heard anything about Hilton Grand Vacations buying the Westgate PH Towers?

Here in Florida, advertising urging us to support new casinos in Miami promise that only 10% of each resort will be devoted to gambling. That sounds pretty small. How does that percentage compare to the Las Vegas casinos?

Is it true that O'Sheas will be closing soon?

What is Oscar Goodman's actual involvement with the new steakhouse in the Plaza? I'd been under the impression that the former mayor owned the joint, but I've heard rumors that isn't true at all. Say it ain't so!

We have gone to the River Palms in Laughlin six times in the last three years. Each time we go there are fewer and fewer slots, and [fewer] table games. The downstairs is completely empty of all slots, table games and video poker: just a blank floor. I know that management keeps saying it’s going to be remodeled, but three years of this? The rooms need to be redone and the outside of the tower has peeling paint from the ground floor to the top. It looks like they are abandoning the property. Can you get the straight answer?

I just saw a new casino game being discussed on Twitter called Scossa, played with dice. My question is not really about it, but more about how new games are introduced to a casino in Las Vegas. What is the standard method to get new games approved and introduced in Las Vegas casinos?

I recently noticed that the lights that run down the sides of the Luxor have turned green. Do you know why?
