I stayed downtown at the end of June and on my morning run east on Fremont I noticed that ALL the motels past the Experience, including the larger Western, were closed and fenced off. Are there plans for those parcels, or is it a case of the city trying to get the "characters" that stayed at those places away from the area?

Dear LVA pros, if the Hi-Lo Lite count in Arnold Syder’s book Blackbelt in Blackjack uses a "true edge" rather than a "true count," how does this affect how I read the indices? For example, when Snyder's table says "stand on a 12 vs. 2 when you have a count of +2," does this mean a true count of +2 or a true edge of +2%? And if the table is using true-count numbers, what’s the point of using a true-edge calculation? How do I know what my 2% advantage in the true edge translates to in a true count?

I have checked "LVA question of the day" archives for information about Mac King and found only show place, time & price details. Please share his history and any other interesting facts about Mac King.

Kirk Kerkorian: His Life and His Legacy to Las Vegas, Part II.

As a retired history/social studies teacher I’m probably a bit biased but I think QoD is at its best when Nevada history or biography is the subject. So with that in mind, inquiring minds would like to know more about the life of recently passed Kirk Kerkorian.

Other than Terry Fator, has any other "America's Got Talent" winner or contestant ever headlined or performed in Las Vegas?

Since the big fanfare when it opened, I have not heard anything about the Elvis Exhibit at the Westgate. How is it doing?

Here’s one that I can't get the answer to, not even from the casinos. Comp points are lower for video poker than for slots, but what if you play the other games in the video machines? Video blackjack is available in most of the multi-game machines. How would that be comped, as a slot machine or as a video poker machine? Good luck getting an answer, I’ve tried.

About two years ago, there was a rumor that The Amazing Jonathan had been contracted to revamp the Las Vegas Club. Any idea what ever happened with that?

Can you find out what happened to Trent Carlini at the Westgate? He is by far the best Elvis impersonator around and I can't believe that he isn't going to portray Elvis in the new show at Westgate. Thanks.
