Do any Las Vegas buffets take reservations?

What effect, if any, do you feel the outcome of the presidential election will have on the gambling industry in Nevada? Do you see the run up to the election as a good time or a bad time to invest in casino stock?

I was reading David McKee's column about the Moulin Rouge and how so many in the Las Vegas area love the idea of bringing it back but no one will commit the cash because the original is in a bad area. Why not pitch to Derek Stevens the idea of bringing back the Moulin Rouge at the Las Vegas Club downtown?

A bit off the Las Vegas topic except I thought Caesars was going to run the casino, but do you have any history or update on the very troubled Baha Mar Hotel Casino in the Bahamas? Thanks for the excellent job you do.

It has been awhile since I last wrote to you folks about the status of the Blue Angel. Not exactly sure why, but I have to go see her every time I visit Las Vegas. She was still in her spot as of March of this year. Will she be moved anytime soon?

I was playing blackjack during our last visit to Las Vegas. The dealer was dealing from a hand-held double deck. On three almost back-to-back deals, every player at the table showed a good and potentially winnable hand. On all three occasions, the dealer drew a 21 and beat every player. I’ve seen some amazing tricks and am aware of what can be done with a deck of cards. Is it possible that some dealers are so good that they can control a hand now and then to give the house a bigger advantage? In this case it sure seemed like it.

Is it true that direct train service from California to Vegas is in the works?

I am a continuous subscriber of your newsletter. Could you please help me with a question concerning hotel booking in Las Vegas? We are planning a trip Nov. 10-15, 2016. Hotel prices seems very high compared to previous years. I read in your August newsletter that hotel prices in Las Vegas generally were going up. Should we hurry our booking now before prices rise even more, or might there be lower prices if we wait closer to the dates of travel?

How about an update on the old Stardust site? Anything happening?

What’s up at Stage Door Casino? We stop in every time we are in town. When we went last night, we were carded and wanded at the door. And there were several security personnel around. They even told us we could no longer have plastic glasses for a "traveler." Were gray-haired seniors, so the carding seemed ridiculous.
