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?

I just want to know whether MGM Mirage can issue a statement to confirm or deny this -- and, more importantly, if it's so, will it be added retrospectively to bookings already made?

Often I read about the casinos of the Boulder Strip and North Las Vegas. Would you give us a list of which casinos are in each area. I'm confused.

To the best of my knowledge, neither Frank Sinatra nor Dean Martin were ever Flamingo headliners. I don't think any of the Rat Pack was, but I'm not sure. So, why was the new Rat Pack star on the Las Vegas Walk Of Fame placed in front of the Flamingo?

What are the top employers (in terms of people employed) in the casino industry in Las Vegas?
