Now that Nevada Gaming Commission approved the licenses for Stations and Boyd for Palms and Aliante, respectively, how long do you think it will be before Boarding Pass and B Connected systems are implemented?

This is a question for your legal department. First the scenerio: My wife and her brother were in a Michigan casino (Soaring Eagle). My wife, who never plays the slots, sat down at a machine next to her brother, put her card in, put in a twenty, and began playing. She was winning, finally looked at her credits and saw she had $110. She cashed out. Now comes a casino employee with two security guards. They did not identify themselves, were very rude, and accused her of stealing $98 from an old man who was playing that machine and left the credits on it. My wife did not notice the credits and asked to see the man. Now comes another employee with two more security guards. They threatened prosecution. They produced a printout of the machine’s activity from the office and said they had the proof. My wife, 68, has cancer, is very timid, paid the money, and they went away. She never did see the old man. Is this normal procedure? Does this happen in Vegas casinos? Is it legal?

I like gambling at the Fremont Hotel in downtown Las Vegas, but the last several times that I have been there, I have noticed a strong vibration in the women's restroom near the buffet. The vibration is so bad that the stalls are shaking and rattling. It has been like this since at least June of this year, when I first noticed it. It could be longer, though. I am just wondering if an old building like this can handle a strong vibration for this many months without damage being done to the structure of the whole building. It feels like a constant earthquake that never stops. Can you check this out and tell me if this is something to worry about? I feel like it could collapse at any moment.

How is business at the Westgate and SLS? Whenever I am at either location, I never see much activity.

Is it me or has the M tightened up its slots and video poker machines? The last half- dozen times I have played there (over 6-8 months), my money has evaporated a lot faster than in the past. Is there any way that the state of Nevada can check on the validity of casinos claim on payouts?

Any update since April 2016 on the Phil Ivey cases?

I have always enjoyed staying at Hotel32 on top of the Monte Carlo. How much longer will they be functioning before the space is remodeled and Hotel32 is gone for good?

What ever happened to the Wizard of Oz theme at MGM Grand? When the casino opened, it seemed like everywhere you turned, you saw the movie being played out. I don’t remember it being removed, but now there’s not a trace of any of it.

Any truth to the rumor that the Boyd downtown casinos will start charging a resort fee after the first of the year?

With the new construction at the Monte Carlo beginning in October, will the tram from the Bellagio continue to run to the Monte Carlo?
