In a recent answer, you noted that access to the Hard Rock pool is $20 for day use. The Hard Rock pool has swim-up blackjack. I thought Nevada Gaming Regulations prevented charging for access to a gaming table. I know there was a regulation change for the Playboy Club. Does this regulation change mean that everyone (Hard Rock included) can put tables in exclusive areas or do you need a Gaming Control waiver?

After spending a couple of days in a hotel with less than working air conditioning, it occurred to me that a/c might have something to do with the rise of Vegas. I can't imagine those wool suits being any fun in 104 degrees. When did the first hotel have a/c? Did it cost extra?

My friend was cleaning out his closet the other day and found four $500 chips from the Landmark Hotel & Casino, formerly located in Las Vegas. Can you tell us the story behind the casino (was there some type of fraud going on with the place?) ... and most importantly, can we still cash those chips? What is on the Landmark site today?

How about a Reno update? Any new casinos going up there, or planned, these days?
