Gambling on a plane: Part II.

Why was there not a word written in the QOD about the two people jumping into the Venetian canal? There was a blurb on the Internet and on TV but very little as a total. Did the Venetian (Sands Corp.) hush everything up? Would like to know what happened from a local standpoint and how the two people are right now. Original report had them as "critical."

How many CVS and Walgreen stores are now on the Strip? Are there that many "sick" people visiting or what? I have read reviews of hotels on the Strip and comments such as "Walgreen's is just across the street." As a side note a recent QOD mentioned a CVS might be going in the old Las Vegas Club - true?

Okay, time for a sober question: Has anyone ever inquired about what percentage of weekend visitors attend some type of religious services during their stay in Las Vegas?

Explain the rules for cashing in chips from a closed casino, in particular Las Vegas Club, please.

Is the picture of Tupac on the cover of Cathy Scott’s book, The Killing of Tupac Shakur, which was shown in a recent issue of the LVA newsletter, the last known picture taken of Tupac while he was alive? Where was it taken, who took it, and why is there controversy over whether or not it’s fake? Where exactly was the car when he was shot? Also, since Tupac was known to be fascinated with numerology and with Niccolo Machiavelli -- what observations does Ms Scott have about their possible role or significance in his life and death?

Are there any night tours of Hoover Dam?

With the somewhat "normalization" of relations with Cuba, have you heard and rumblings about possible gaming activity moving onto the island?

We were thinking about staying at the Circus Circus RV campground. With no car, how safe is it to ride a bike on the Strip? Do the casinos have parking for them?

Several years ago there was a house given away, in a section of Las Vegas called Springfield. I`m not sure of any further location info as I'm from the east coast. Anyway, the home was fashioned after the Simpson's House -- garish colors, weird front door to accommodate Marge`s hairdo. Without revealing any info that should remain private, could you share the story in this column? And did the folks who won have it repainted. (I recall this was an option available to the winner).
