How many downtown hotels have pools - and how many (like The Park, for instance) did have, but have lost them with refurbishment, etc.?

I can't help wondering what it costs Boyd every month to maintain the stalled Echelon Place construction site, compared to the monthly profit or loss of the Stardust at the time of its demise. Are those figures available?

Several years ago the young men, Tom Breitling and Tim Poster, purchased the Golden Nugget. They even had their own TV show about the experience. After several hectic years they sold the property to Landry's Restaurants. What are the boys doing today?

Will the Sahara be imploded or taken over by another corporation? So sad, so many memories...

With the closure of the Sahara, what are the top five oldest continually open casinos on the Strip now?

Now that CityCenter has been open for over a year, can you tell us the occupancy rate of the complex? I'm not speaking of hotel rooms, but rather office space, retail establishments and the like.

In 2003 we went to an afternoon show in the "igloo" outside of Lady Luck Casino. It was an awesome variety show called The Walkers. I believe it was a woman and her 2 or 3 brothers. Similar to the Scintas show. We met them after the show and were very surprised to learn that they were from our hometown of Butler, PA. In 2004 we returned to take friends to see this fun show and it was gone. We asked at the front desk, the concierge, and even the valets, and nobody had ever heard of them! We couldn't believe that not one employee remembered them or their great show. Do you know or could you find out what ever happed to The Walkers? Thank you in advance for researching our question. We really appreciate your time and trouble.

How far in advance do you get word from the Palms as to their schedule for Playmate signings? For example, they seem to usually do the weekend in the middle of each month. Any idea if they'll do that for PMOY and PMOM on May 13-14 following the PMOY announcement weekend on May 6-7? Same question for subsquent months. Would like to have a chance to plan travel to coincide if they do it on a regular schedule.

I was looking at an aerial view of Las Vegas and noticed that the Hilton had a couple of swimming pools on their roof. Are these pools exclusively for high rollers? And how many other casinos have rooftop pools or pools not for the general public?

My wife is highly sensitive to various fragrances, which trigger an immediate migraine. We have noticed that more and more hotels are using some kind of fragrance in their public areas. We were booked for 4 nights at ARIA but left after one night (awesome rooms though). We went to M Resort but never made it their buffet. We had to turn around and leave because the fragrance was so strong. The list goes on and on. Why do these properties do this?
