Whatever happened with the plan to build a UFO-themed hotel in Baker? Is that project still happening? I miss the themed hotels in Las Vegas and it sounded like a fun idea!

On the south side of E. Warm Springs Rd., between Placid St. and South Bermuda Rd., sits a huge building that has been unfinished for years. The lot(s) it sits on is pretty well maintained and hasn’t grown up with weeds during the time I’ve been noticing it. Obviously there’s some caretaking being accomplished on the site, but nothing ever changes with the building itself. Would you folks at LVA have any information about this building, its intended purpose, and whether there are plans to ever complete its construction?

Did I read that there was a class action lawsuit regarding casinos charging resort fees for comped rooms? If so, what gives?

Are there any original sections left at any of the oldest remaining strip resorts -- Flamingo, SLS/Sahara or the Tropicana?

In a recent post on David McKee's blog, he mentions a quote from Deutsche Bank analyst Karen Tang: "If Macau tightens junket regulations, we feel that more small junkets will go out of business after Chinese New Year, and even bigger junkets may face redemption pressures." What are "junkets" and how does their business tie in to casinos in Macau?

After reading the recent QoD about the "Old Vegas" theme park in Henderson, I wondered what happened to the Vegas Strip reproduction they built for the Vegas TV show with Dennis Quaid a few years ago? I thought it was built out in California somewhere? How bizarre would that be to come across unexpectedly while driving around California!

I have heard that Planet Hollywood will be updating all of the hotel rooms in the hotel. Is this true? If so, how long will it take for them to be completed?

I will be in Las Vegas with my sister on February 3 and was wondering if the public is allowed into the memorial service for Celine's husband. Any specifics on time, admittance, etc., would be appreciated.

I saw on Twitter that the Mirage now has its own beer, Mirage IPA. Do you know who brews it for them? Has anyone at LVA sampled it? I am interested in your impression.

I recently visited Fremont Street and saw the new "performance circles" for the buskers. They look like giant poker chips, spread out across the pedestrian walkway. They definitely make Fremont less chaotic and more organized, which to me is both good and bad. It seems safer, but also that some of the fun has been lost. Has there been any response to the new system?
