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?

Is there anywhere in Vegas where the minimum age to check in at a hotel is less than 21?

With the current economy, it looks more and more like Echelon Place will NEVER be completed. How long do the building permits last and, if they expire, can the city demand the finished portion to be torn down? It only seems logical that all permits would have some kind of "reasonable progress to completion" clause that would require some movement by the builders. The north end of the Strip is looking more and more like a trash heap.

I've wondered about a very large Big Six wheel I saw on a Travel Channel "Las Vegas" Special. It looked to be about 20 feet tall. I want to know what the story is. Where was it? How big? etc. I recently saw the show again and noticed the shot immediately preceded a shot with Anthony Curtis in it, so I know you've seen it. What's the deal?
