Can you tell us anything about the history of the Plaza? It's pretty rundown now, but it sure looks like it must have been quite the place when it was first built. Thanks!

I have been a regular at the Venetian and Palazzo for years. What happened to two of my favorite restaraunts, David Burke and Charlie Palmer?

This is a follow-up to the QOD last week (4/2/10) about using more than one free lodging offer at the same time. In the past, I've booked myself into two hotels on the same dates and gone back and forth between them with no consequences and no remorse. However, I would like to use a free lodging comp for some visiting friends (in Tunica). The only caveat on the offer is, "Offer exclusively for (me)." This doesn't seem to preclude my checking in, giving the front desk my credit card, then turning the keys over to my friends. Am I wrong about this? I have a feeling if I call the hotel (Harrah's in Tunica) and ask, they'll say I can't do it. But I don't really see why not and your answer last week seems to confirm that. However, will I soon be receiving guests from the county jail if I do this?

I recently visited a casino and put a $50 bill on the crap table, asking for chips. It was very busy, with players on either side of me playing with a lot more money. When I received my chips, I noticed I had been given $150 by mistake. I chose not to say anything, played a few rounds, and cashed out as quickly as I could without looking suspicious. Every time the phone rang or a supervisor walked by I got a bit nervous. Would the casino have been able to ask for the chips back if the "eye in the sky" noticed the error? Could I have gotten in trouble for not saying anything?

The old Holiday Inn Riverboat casino is now Harrah's, the old MGM is now Bally's, the San Remo is now Hooters, the Barbary Coast is now Bill's Gamblin’ Hall and Saloon, the Aladdin is now the Planet Hollywood. Are there any other resorts that escaped the imploders’ explosives and basically just went through some renovations, then "reopened" under the new name?

The street leading from the Strip to the Sahara is called SLS way. What do the letters stand for?

Is it OK to book rooms using free offers at different hotels for the same nights, allowing a relative to use one of the offers?

I was recently watching a biography on child star Dana Plato and they said she was in a show in Las Vegas. Do you know what it was called and where and when it ran?

My 5-year self-imposed ban is scheduled to be finished 05/10/10 in Arizona, and I was curious to see if you knew if one can confirm they will remove my name from the list here in Arizona. My main concern is: Harrah's carried this self-ban outside of my state, even though it was only meant for Arizona, and I want the opportunity to finally play (even for free – sponsored) in the WSOP following my end date this year. Ironically, I work in the financial industry and I don’t trust, well any financial establishment, or that Harrah's will lift my ban in early May so that I may enter the events. Do you know of any other incidents or proof one can obtain they will comply with the contract I signed here in Arizona? If not, would you please send me in the right direction? (I've tried myself, but could not find answers.) Thank you very much for your assistance.

I remember a few years back, there was a spa where they said it actually snowed inside! Now, that would be something I'd like to try when I go out to Las Vegas this July. If it's still around, can you give me the cool facts?
