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?

Whatever happened to the "underground" at Caesars Palace. It was located beneath the Sportsbook. You could eat there in individual rooms, be visited by a roving magician, lots of thunder and lightning. It was exciting. Is it still down there or was it replaced by something?

I recently stayed at the Encore and had a room on the 55th floor (or so I thought). In the elevator, there are no buttons for floors 40 through 49. I work in a 20-story building in Atlanta where there is no button for the 13th floor; why are there no floors in the 40s at the Encore? Do other Vegas properties have "missing" floors?

You ran question a couple years ago about Caesars Palace being the Vegas casino with the roughest past. Can you please repost that answer?

I've heard there's a huge aquarium in the Forum Shops area of Caesars Palace. My son loves fish and owns several aquariums -- are there any other fish-tanks of interest in Las Vegas?

The QoD for 4/20 [on the proposed and defeated Nevada brothel tax] got me wondering. With the Nevada mining business booming, why don't they increase their taxes instead of trying to squeeze more from a cash-strapped casino industry?
