In the book Cullotta, a photo of the "Chicago Outfit circa 1970s" names one man as Joseph "Little Caesar" DiVarco. Just wondered if this person had a connection with Little Caesars, the little dive-of-a-casino on the Strip years back? Enjoyed the book a lot, BTW.

The other night I noticed a new sign on Main Street in front of the somewhat remodeled Plaza. The sign stated "Swingers Club" and "Dueling Pianos". Does the term "swingers" on that sign make reference to a '40s and '50s genre of music or is it advertising the sexual networking genre?

Has there been any talk of when the Sahara will be imploded?

From what I can tell, the sports books have three basic types of parlay cards: ties-lose, ties-win, and 1/2-point, on the latter of which there are no ties. Payoffs vary to compensate for the treatment of ties in each case. Is there a set order of how these cards compare to each other? That is, if I'm in a book with two of them or all three, is there a basic strategy that tells me which one to play?

Any news on the opening of the Margaritaville Casino? I'm bringing my wife to Vegas next month to celebrate our anniversary. We are looking forward to playing at Margaritaville since it's always five o'clock in Las Vegas.

There has been a lot of talk about the Plaza lately - the rooms, dining area, and casino. But I have not heard anything about the pool they have on the top floor. Is anything new happening there or is it "out of sight, out of mind"?

What was the name of the long ago strip property located near the Monte Carlo that had a large clown on the front of the building and behind the clown's head was either a ferris wheel or a roller coaster with characters riding in it? This property no longer exists.

On May 28th this year, you responded to my QoD and said this: "The Park predates the current writer's first visit to Las Vegas by almost a decade, but it apparently was a hotel-casino that formerly occupied the plot at 300 N. Main Street which, today, is part of Main Street Station. The Park existed only from 1987-1990 and could perhaps be the subject of a future QoD in its own right...." Any further thoughts?

Can you tell us anything about the Tally-Ho Hotel? I understand that it was an attempt to bring some decorum to the Strip.

What is going on at Koval and Harmon? I thought a new casino, resort etc. was going to be built. It has been an eyesore for years.
