What's the latest with UNLV's Runnin' Rebels? I gave up on them a few years after Jerry Tarkanian got into all that trouble and the basketball program was in the toilet. They surfaced briefly in 2000, but I haven't heard much since.

I have a friend who's obsessed with the Rat Pack and the entire Vegas in the 1950s/'60s nostalgia scene. If you could put together a 1- to 2-day itinerary (places to see, eat, stay) that is centered around the look and feel of the Rat Pack era, we'd love to know your expert opinion. Authentic landmarks would be ideal, but I also know that these days, "authentic" sites are few and far between, so it would be fine to include newer places that just exude the vibe of that scene. Thanks!

I've been watching the show "High Stakes Poker" and enjoying it very much. I was wondering, though, what sort of proposition bets are being made by the players, that Doyle Brunson has to keep track of in writing? More generally, what sort of prop bets typically get made in high stakes games?

My favorite LVA story ever was the Anthony Curtis prime rib odyssey, where he ate and rated every prime rib meal deal in town. Is he game for doing this again?

Does Steve Wynn have any children or grandchildren? You never hear anything about his family.

OK, the Killers are from Las Vegas. Their new alblum is titled "Sam's Town." Is there any connection with the locals casino?

What were the circumstances of Ken Uston's death in Paris?

I heard that there's a crazy house in Las Vegas, owned by an ex-Lt. Governor(?), that's full of all kinds of Vegas memorabilia. Is this house open to the public? Are there any other unusual private homes in Las Vegas?

I read somewhere Jack Binion signed a non-compete agreement with Harrah's when he sold off his casinos. Is this true and if so, when does it expire? Also, are there any rumors about his return to the industry?

I was watching an Elvis special on the "i" network and he was performing in Las Vegas at the International Hotel. Where was or is the International Hotel?
