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?

After reading about the restaurant changes at the Palms in a Today’s News entry on your website, what is a "food hall concept"?

Whatever happened to the Elvis-A-Rama museum?

Do you ever envision a day when a Vegas resort will offer an “all-inclusive” package similar to many tropical locales and cruise ships, whereby you pay one price for the room, food, and drinks? It would seem like this might help keep customers on the property, and perhaps then more likely to spend a gambling budget only in that location. Thoughts?

Several years ago, I was in Vegas when they had what they called a mini-earthquake. It shook the Strip hotels to where some people were actually thrown out of bed. I was staying at the Monte Carlo, riding the tram when it happened, and I just thought that the shaky ride was due to the tracks that we were riding on. My question is: Have there ever been any serious earthquakes in the Vegas area in the past 100 years?  

When I was in Las Vegas recently I noticed what appeared to be construction going on in the lot behind (to the west) of where the trains used to be in between the Plaza and Main Street Station. Any idea what's going on there? Is it related to the pending work on the Las Vegas Club?

I visit Las Vegas several times a year. And I haven't been to the Strip since they started charging to park. Can you tell me the casinos on the Strip that don't charge to park, if any, so I can go back.

Questions. We get lots and lots of questions.

A recent showing of Bar Rescue with host Jon Taffer did a makeover of a place called Champagne  Bar. It was a supposed hangout for the Hole in the Wall gang. Do you have an address for this bar and do you know of any other hangouts used by mob guys? This episode had Frank Cullotta as a patron and some comments on the place.
