My wife and I just toured the MONA Museum of Neon Art in Glendale, California. Searching the QoD archives, we came up with the early, pre-Las Vegas history of neon, but we're wondering when neon became the dominant signage in Las Vegas. Also, what happened to it? It's not so prevalent anymore.

Happy New Year!

I asked this a few years ago and want to see if anything has changed. Are there any behind-the-scenes tours of hotels, shows, Las Vegas underground? Took one tour about eight years ago underneath Caesar's Palace. It was great.

In your discussion of the Flush table games [QoD December 10], you used two terms that had different percentages, but seemed to be the same thing to me: "house edge" and "element of risk." What is the difference between the two terms?

Your QoD on the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen at a buffet got me to thinking about how many bad meals you’ve ever eaten. In the newsletter, you only review the good ones. Why don’t you ever warn us about the bad and the ugly?

I'd love to know more about the history and geology/geography of southern Nevada.

Merry Christmas

Parking Part 5: So middle of next year it will cost to park at most of the casinos on the Strip, while the local casinos remain free. But what about downtown? Hasn't there been paid parking there for a long time?

Parking Part 4: First 6-5 blackjack, then resort fees and comped-drink tracking, and now paid parking. What's next? Admission fees for the casinos?

Parking Part 3: Does The Las Vegas Advisor have plans to start charging to park when coming to your office to get the yearly coupon book? Seems like everyone else does!
