I will be returning to Vegas in late June. Does anyone offer video poker lessons? There are so many different games, how does one choose?

I hope this question isn’t too sensitive to answer, but here goes. I’ve been a big fan of Blair Rodman’s since reading his excellent book Kill Phil. I also liked his history of the World Series of Poker that you put up recently. But conspicuous in its absence is any mention of WSOP Main Event winner Russ Hamilton. I know that Russ has been the source of much bad press and ill will in poker of late, but he was the 25th-anniversary champion and, along with the first-place prize, was paid the value of his weight in silver. Anthony Curtis has made no secret of the fact that he and Russ are long-time friends, so I expected a lot more than nothing.

I just returned yesterday from Vegas. Great time! I heard from a reliable source that the Rio has been sold and while the World Series of Poker is starting, the final table is planned to be at Planet Hollywood due to the sale. Could the buyer possibly be George Maloof?

I was just re-reading The Man With the $100,000 Breasts by Michael Konik. Can you give an update on Brian Zembic and the afore-mentioned breasts?

Back in the mid-'70s I remember watching a game show called "Dealer's Choice." The show consisted of three contestants betting on various games of chance including a version of Blackjack. Whichever contestant had the most 'chips' at the end got to go on to the Bonus Dice round where they could win a nice prize such as a car or an exotic vacation. I also seem to remember the show originated from The Tropicana and was filmed there. Can you dig up any more info or trivia on "Dealer's Choice"?

I've wondered about a very large Big Six wheel I saw on a Travel Channel "Las Vegas" Special. It looked to be about 20 feet tall. I want to know what the story is. Where was it? How big? etc. I recently saw the show again and noticed the shot immediately preceded a shot with Anthony Curtis in it, so I know you've seen it. What's the deal?

To the best of my knowledge, neither Frank Sinatra nor Dean Martin were ever Flamingo headliners. I don't think any of the Rat Pack was, but I'm not sure. So, why was the new Rat Pack star on the Las Vegas Walk Of Fame placed in front of the Flamingo?
