Best of QoD: My favorite QoDs are the ones where we get a behind-the-scenes look at Anthony Curtis and the way he does the things he does for the Las Vegas Advisor -- like the prime rib survey, my all-time favorite.

The Best of QoD -- Tony Cornero Parts I & II

I've read many books regarding the lifestyle and behind-the-scenes of Las Vegas. What book(s) would you recommend I read regarding the life and times of developer/casino owner Steve Wynn.

Who is going to be the next headliner at Caesars when Celine Dion leaves?

This question is about Harry Reid. Now that he's the majority leader of the U.S. Senate, the senior senator from Nevada seems to be on the news every day concerning one important issue or another. Where is he from? Where does he live? And how well does he represent the state's interests in Washington, D.C.?

What happened to the roller coaster atop the Stratosphere?

Is there any truth to the rumor that Michael Jackson may be negotiating a contract to appear as a headline entertainer in Las Vegas?

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!
