We're looking for a certain type of casino in Las Vegas. We go to the Pioneer in Laughlin 4-5 times a year, and we love the environment and friendly feeling of the place. Is there something comparable in Las Vegas? You know, a smaller place with nice clientele?

My friend just came back from Las Vegas and asked if I knew about the bar and glasses that are made of ice. She said her friends went there, but she could not remember the name or location. I thought she was crazy, but it is Las Vegas. Does this place exist? Could you provide any details?

Is it true the Castaways (Showboat) hotel closed on the weekend prior to the Super Bowl? Why was Castaways unable to compete?

Can we get a Ted Binion update? Is Rick Tabish out of prison? What about Sandy Murphy? After watching the movie, it left a lot of questions.

Do you have an update on the Ultimate Sports Resort being built?

I remember a while back you guys posted a story about the Jockey Club and how it’s still standing while CityCenter is built around it. I posted a picture up on flickr of the Jockey Club and had a comment pop up... I want to make sure that my explanation was correct, that the reason was due to the Jockey Club having a couple thousand(?) owners? Here’s the actual goings on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mkotich/3971127416/ I’ve put in a couple links for you guys in my response. If you could remind me, or even just reply in-thread, that’d be great.

Is there a hotel with a simulated beach with an area to get a sun tan? I will be in Vegas in February.

I heard that Sammy Hagar was going to open a new Cabo Wabo Cantina in Las Vegas. I know he has one in Tahoe at Harvey’s, called Cabo Tahoe; where is the Vegas club going to be?
