What's the status of the Desert Inn time capsule? My understanding is that it was buried on the resorts 50th anniversary in the year 2000, just a few weeks before Steve Wynn bought the place. It was scheduled to be opened in 2050 I think. Does Steve have it? Or did he just build The Wynn on top of it and forget about it?

Caught up on some episodes of "Ghost Adventures" and saw Zak Bagens has a museum in Las Vegas. Do you know where, or if it is open to the public?

Since Jersey Boys is closing I was wondering if Frankie Valli is still alive. Love the music but haven't heard anything about him lately. Also is it possible that he could show up for closing night if he is still getting around. Would love to hear more about him. Thank you!

With all of the Native American casinos in this country why aren't there any in Vegas? Also I heard that they actually make more my than the Las Vegas and Atlantic City casinos combined. Is this true?

I was surprised to see the Golden Nugget listed as a hotel with no plans for hotel self check-in kiosks in a recent QoD. The last time I was there (granted, close to a year ago), they had kiosks near the Carson Tower elevator lobby that allowed guests to check-in to the hotel and get their room keys. I found some older TripAdvisor reviews that mentioned them there, too. Have they removed them?

Few Questions of the Day have generated as much feedback, or controversy, as our recent one about the pros and cons of moving to Southern Nevada, particularly skewed toward seniors. Specifically, readers took issue with the contention, conveyed to our writer by a representative of on of the non-profits offering services to senior citizens, that Social Security benefits vary based on the cost of living in different parts of the country. Today, we revisit that issue, along with a few other aspects of relocating here that we didn't touch on, or not in detail, in the original answer.

4360 S. Decatur is three blocks from your office, the Palms, Gold Coast, Rio, and the Orleans. Are the powers that be suggesting we can be shot dead visiting this area?

My husband and I are looking at retirement in only 25 months. We will be in our mid 50s with a secure retirement. Las Vegas is one of our top two retirement choices. We've been visiting Vegas for 20 years and have visited in all seasons and have never been ones to stick to the Strip: We've always included hiking in the desert and visiting local attractions in our trips. Recently, we have even saved up errands so we could try local businesses (for example, getting an iPad fixed). Do you have any specific or "insider" advice for us? Do you have any facts and figures on how many retirees come to Las Vegas, only to find out they don't enjoy it and move away? Bottom line, is the local area conducive to aging comfortably, or are there "cons," other than the obvious, that we should be aware of?
