The Colonel and The King: Part II

For the five or 10 people out there, like Ben Carson, who actually don't know the vile history of Tom Parker, maybe just a short bio on Q&A? I understand that he bilked Elvis out of 50 percent of his income, as The King didn't know much about the usual 10 percent (at that time) agent's commission? Did they or why didn't they ever fight this control? Must be an interesting story. I wonder how many people know that Elvis had blonde hair and dyed it because he thought it would look better on stage and in the movies?

I have another Elvis question. I’m an NV resident. The ONLY thing I like about paying my annual car registration at the local DMV kiosk is when, after I pay, Elvis says "Thank you, thank you very much". The first time I heard it I cracked up, appreciating this rare instance of "the Man," as in the state of Nevada, having a sense of humor. In light of the row going on at the Westgate, I'm curious as to whether the DMV has to pay the Elvis estate for use of his (imitated) voice? And do they have any plans to replace his voice anytime, or switch it out with anybody else (like the Wayner?) Thanks!

Did the Elvis Presley estate get their artifacts returned after the closure of "Elvis the Exhibition" at the Westgate? Also, are there any plans to use the newly vacated space?

I always thought that Wayne Newton was "Mr Las Vegas," but in your recent QoD about casino magnates of recent decades, you referenced Bob Stupak as having that title. What's the deal?

Is Wynn actually tearing out the golf course for a water park or was this an April 1st announcement?

While watching an episode of "Vega$," I noticed at the Savoy Hotel, just north of Circus Circus, what appears to have been something similar to the Big Shot. What was that? Is there any chance of the High Roller returning? I would like a chance to ride it with my eyes open.

How do you rate Tony Hsieh's contributions to the success of downtown Las Vegas?

Since the Liberace Museum closed, where do they keep and protect the cars and pianos and other items?

Further to the Jan. 14 Question of the Day, are there any entertainers/celebrities who, because of because of their disgraceful behavior or antics, are pretty much barred from Las Vegas?
