Why do locals get lesser rewards from myVEGAS games than out of towners?

How come houses in Las Vegas don't have basements?

Any update on the new beer garden at Ellis Island that was announced last year?

We were at the California the other day and we were looking for the Golden Arm Wall of Fame, which we've heard about but couldn't find. Can you tell us where it is and how many names are on it?

Happy Independence Day!

I thought Dotty's was just a tiny locals casino over on North Rancho, but from reading the most recent Las Vegas Advisor newsletter, now it seems like it might be more a chain. Fill us in, please.

I’m sitting in a casino and really enjoying the music. Do casinos have to pay a royalty for every song played? What is the cost per year to a casino to have music playing overhead?

I love the show “America's Got Talent.” We're planning a vacation to coincide with the Las Vegas winners show. How can we find out when and where it will be so that we can make hotel reservations?

As a follow up to today's craps odds question, and someone who takes the odds frequently, any idea why a locals joint like the South Point or a downtown spot like California, would limit players to double odds in craps? Sure, we've come to expect that from the likes of Steve Wynn, and I suspect it will only grow and grow on the strip, but I was quite surprised to see this in the aforementioned local-type casinos. Why would they be less accommodating than say, the big boys at the Caesars and MGM corporate outfits that bank on tourists not caring?
