I have read in various Las Vegas history books about how the Mob would bury people in the desert. With all the expansion in the valley over the years, has a Mob buried body ever been unearthed during construction of houses? If so, what part of town was the Mob’s favorite burial ground?

Your QOD from May 4th briefly mentioned some history on the Bonanza Gift Shop. Can you give us the full history on the site and how the gift store came to be? The QOD archives does not have a lot of info on it.

Do casino chips ever get counterfeited? People try to counterfeit money so why not chips? Is this a problem and, if so, what do the casinos do to try and stop it? What sort of anti-counterfeiting technology is there in a chip?
