I visit Vegas at least once a year. Many times when I walk down the halls of the hotel(s) I am in, the smell of marijuana will waft out of rooms. I assume at one time, like in the ‘60s and the early ‘70s, this might have got you kicked out and maybe even smacked around a bit. At what point did this change? The eighties/nineties? When corporations took over ownership from the mob? Also, what role did Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" play in widening the definition of "partying" in Vegas.

The M Resort sits like a lonely outpost. Is there anything planned to be built around it?

I was wondering what are the 10 largest Indian casinos in the U.S. (measured by square footage) and where are they located?

I figure it’s a good time to buy a condo at a hotel in Vegas at a reasonable price. Especially at the Signature at MGM. How does the whole thing work? If I purchase one and own it, does it mean I can live there permanently if I wanted to or is it like a timeshare thing? Also if someone "moves out," does a real-estate agent handle the selling and buying of the condo or is that all done by the property (MGM Grand)?

Quite some time ago I sent some pictures of a guy that Pam Goertler had found at a DI golf tournament schmoozing with celebrities. No one knew who he was, including you folks. Now I think someone may have solved the mystery...

Has anything new happened to the old Westward Ho lot yet? It has been empty for quite some time. We always stayed at the Ho and hate to see the empty lot.

In Today’s News you wrote about "The Big Spin" (roulette wager) at the Golden Gate and never told us what happened. So, what happened?

I read recently that the Plaza owed the Fremont Street Experience a large sum of money. Have they made any effort to pay this debt?

I’m a little confused about the $100 Terrible’s rebate on losses. How do you determine if and when you reach the loss level? Is it total coin-in regardless of coin-out? Is it total coin-in less any winnings? For example, let’s say you put in a hundred-dollar bill and win $500. Do you take out the $500, put $400 in your pocket, put the original $100 back in, lose it, and consider that the loss of the $100 and get the $100 in free-play from the casino? Or does it work differently? Who determines if, when, and how you’ve lost your original $100?

What is going on with the Vdara "death ray"?
