Now that the Tropicana has been sold, where does that leave the proposed mall addition and what’s happening with the glass ceiling in the casino that they were going to remove? Also, do you think the effect of the sale will make the Trop more like M Resort, or the other way around? (e.g., Will M reintroduce a resort fee or might the Tropicana follow M’s lead and ditch theirs? We can only hope!) I know the two properties now share a shuttle, but what other changes/integration might we expect?

Yesterday’s QoD made me wonder, what’s the status of the Liberace mansion? I heard it had been sold to a British millionaire.

In which casino/hotels did Liberace perform (particularly around 1976) and do you think the new hologram show will ever be produced?

What kind of logistics would be required to eliminate automobiles from the Strip and allow only light rail and commercial traffic?

A number of years ago I saw an ad for a mine-your-own-opals mine. I think it was in the Red Rock area. I went there but it was closed. Do you know anything about this and are any other places like this near Las Vegas?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Will personal mobility scooters be allowed on the Strip during the New Year celebrations?

In a recent QoD you used the word "dealertainers." Can you give us a Las Vegas definition, please?

What is going on at Silverton. Is the new hotel finished? Are there any new or updated restaurants?

Las Vegas has thousands of hotel rooms that typically provide some level of personal care items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. Each day these single use containers go into the hotel trash. Is there any effort to recycle the discarded plastics generated by the hotel industry in Las Vegas?
