Is Phyllis McGuire still alive and what has happened in her life since she quit singing with her sisters?

We started going to Vegas in 1995. At that time there was a showgirl named Aki. It seemed at that time showgirls were very popular. If I remember right she even had her image painted on an airplane. What ever happened to her?

The movie Casino is the epitome of iconic Las Vegas. How many real-life Las Vegas personalities appeared in the film either as themselves or portraying characters? Is identifying them too daunting a task?

What happened to the "Player's Edge" column in the Review-Journal? It is still listed in the Entertainment section but there are no columns for 2011.

I visit Las Vegas often and I keep hearing about the great bread pudding that once was served at the Golden Nugget. The recipe is said to have been from Steve Wynn's mother. Any chance of getting that recipe? I have heard about this bread pudding from at least six Las Vegans.

I remember going to Las Vegas a few times years ago and it seemed there was always a strike going on at the Frontier. What was it all about and, with the Mob’s ties in Vegas, why was it allowed to last so long?

I'm hoping you can clarify something for me. I am a big fan of Las Vegas documentaries. Two of the documentaries I've seen seem to conflict with each other. One claims that baccarat didn't come to Las Vegas until Frank Sinatra brought it to the Sands in the early 1960s. Another shows early songstress Rose Marie claiming that Bugsy Siegel once gave her $10,000 to play baccarat at the Flamingo. How could Rose Marie have been playing baccarat in 1946 if it wasn't introduced for another 15 years? Any insight on this? When (and who) first brought baccarat to Las Vegas?

Part II of our Jay Sarno bio.

Can you write a mini bio on Jay Sarno?

Since you covered Allen Glick recently - what can you tell me about Milton Jaffe? I hear that I am distantly related to him and he is a minor legend in the family, but details are sketchy at best (even with the magic of Google). PART II
