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.

Whatever happened to Venetian’s Venezia Tower? Is it open to the public or shut down indefinitely due to the economy? I’ve had many offers from the Venetian and Palazzo, but never once from the Venezia, which makes me want to stay there more.

During last week’s radio broadcast of "Gambling With An Edge", it was mentioned that casinos use a "code" so that security knows if a drink is alcoholic or not. The "code" is based on the straw in the drink. Can you explain what the code is?

I'll be in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks for my annual visit. While I will certainly not be tied to a laptop, I may need to refer to it for a couple of minutes to check on an important matter. My question, are there Wi-Fi hot spots in all hotels (I'll be staying at the Rio)?

I heard recently that Jerry Lewis is no longer the MDA National Chairman and that he will not appear on the 2011 telethon Labor Day weekend. Will the telethon go on as scheduled from the South Point?

Reading the response to Friday's question about the gas station, and looking at the 1968 photograph, I'm wondering what was on the site previously of each of the current Strip hotels? For example, what hotels are now on the site of the old Desert Inn, Frontier, or Dunes hotels? It might even be interesting to go off-Strip a little. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Did there used to be a gas station where The Mirage and/or Treasure Island now stand, until the early '90s? I swear I can remember filling up there, in August 1990!

I remember, a few years back, that you could check into some hotels at the airport. Are there still hotels that do that and if so, which ones are they?
