So what is the REAL admission policy for Rehab at the Hard Rock hotel now? I notice that they now have guest performers and are charging $150.00 for tickets. Do hotel guests still get in for free, or do they now have to pay the full price when there are performers?

Who are the most powerful women in Las Vegas? Not necessarily politicians, but in the gaming/entertainment/hotel industry. We always hear about the men (Sheldon Adelson, Steve Wynn, the Maloofs). Who don't we hear about?

A few years ago at my friend's wedding in Michigan we went across to a casino in Canada and became fixated with playing Sigma Derby, a horse racing game where you wagered on the quinella of 5 plastic horses. The groom and myself are huge fans of horse racing in general, so this was entertaining for hours. In August (11-16) we are coming to Vegas for the bride's 30th birthday and I am hoping to find a Sigma Derby left somewhere in Vegas. The last one I knew was one in the MGM, but I don't know if it's still there or not. Can the LVA help me find Sigma Derby or something similar for this trip with my friends?

How far either in yards or minutes from Las Vegas Boulevard will be the entrance to the casino at the Aria Resort in CityCenter?

While I was in Vegas the week of 7/12, Mermaids and La Bayou were closed. What happened? Will they reopen or are they permanently defunct due to $$$ woes? I sure missed my semi-annual La Bayou Yard!

We will be coming out to Vegas for our twice-yearly vacation in October. After all the comments in David McKee's blog, will the Riviera still be there then? That's our home away from home!

There have been quite a few articles lately on the financial status of CityCenter, Fontainebleau and The Cosmopolitan. Are they still scheduled to open in 2009, if at all?

You recently answered a question about Carl Ichan in which you stated that very few complaints were ever made about Arizona Charlie’s or the Stratosphere when he was involved. Not like, say, Harrah’s Entertainment. Could you explain what you mean by that a little more.

I know that you are extremely backlogged with your QODs, but I would really appreciate your help, and time is of the essence! We're having a small get-together in our room after our daughter's wedding & were wondering if you knew of and could recommend any pizza places that deliver to the hotels/casinos on the Strip (namely the Flamingo)? Is that even allowed? Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated as the big day is fast approaching!

Which of the major casinos actively and aggressively seeks the gay and lesbian market?
