Walking down the street, between Bally's and Bill's (on the way to Ellis Island), we noticed on the sidewalk in front of an empty lot, all these great jazz artists names in the sidewalk in gold lettering. What was there? This has been bothering me for about a year.

With the economy slowing, and jet fuel and gas prices sky high, have the casinos seen a significant drop in daily, weekly, or monthly revenue? If so, what do they plan to do about generating more visitors?

We have heard from several people that building of Echelon Place has stopped because they ran out of money. How true is that?

Concerning slot machines. Do you think it is possible that some slot machines DO NOT have the highest jackpot combo in the chip? They could pay 200, 400, or 1,000 units, etc., often, but never pay the big one. How would anyone really know? Are the chips checked for this?

I just recently heard that Steve Wynn's golf course is slated to be removed. What is going to be built on the site?

A little birdie just told me that Terry Caudill was buying Fitzgeralds Casino & Hotel. Is this true?

Are any of the pools in the strip hotels open to non-resident guests or locals?

Living in Michigan I only get to Vegas once a year every October religiously. I am new to your Advisor so reading it brings me a new question. Most of the offers you highlight require you to sign up for the players club card to get the great offers. What if you already hold that casinos player club card are you still entitled to the special promotions? Visiting every year I already have most cards for the casinos I like. Am I still entitled to the Hooters new promo?

We have been visiting Las Vegas every year since 1982 and always stay at the Imperial Palace. Only for the last three years were we aware that they had a Medical Center. Since we seem to get sick every time we visit, we have been frequent patients at the center. However, this past May when we visited, we found it is no longer there. Do you know where there are any other casino Medical Centers?

From time to time in the LVA, you use the word "metaresort" when describing the big new projects like CityCenter and Echelon Place. There's no such word in the dictionary and when I looked it up online, all I found were articles by Anthony Curtis that contained the word. Since it seems like you guys are the only ones using it, can you tell me exactly what it means?
