When you recently supplied a three-part history of the Maxim casino, you wrote that we could expect "some more tangential QoDs to follow." Can we still and, if so, when?!

How many CVS and Walgreen stores are now on the Strip? Are there that many "sick" people visiting or what? I have read reviews of hotels on the Strip and comments such as "Walgreen's is just across the street." As a side note a recent QOD mentioned a CVS might be going in the old Las Vegas Club - true?

I need information about when Wayne Newton's estate Sunset Springs Ranch will be open to the public for tours. Norm Clarke wrote it will open September 15, 2015. I will be in Vegas on September 13-21.

Okay, time for a sober question: Has anyone ever inquired about what percentage of weekend visitors attend some type of religious services during their stay in Las Vegas?

Is the picture of Tupac on the cover of Cathy Scott’s book, The Killing of Tupac Shakur, which was shown in a recent issue of the LVA newsletter, the last known picture taken of Tupac while he was alive? Where was it taken, who took it, and why is there controversy over whether or not it’s fake? Where exactly was the car when he was shot? Also, since Tupac was known to be fascinated with numerology and with Niccolo Machiavelli -- what observations does Ms Scott have about their possible role or significance in his life and death?

Battista’s Hole in the Wall is a special place we like to go upon every trip to Las Vegas. Can you give us some history on it, including the entertaining accordion player, and celebrities that have eaten there?

I am somewhat confused after reading your news feed about the closing of the Las Vegas Club. I don’t understand what it means that Derek Stevens bought the property but not the name or the gaming. The name I get, but does this mean that he cannot have gaming there? And what will happen to the former employees of the casino?

Of your featured blogs, James Grosjean's "Beyond Numbers" hasn't been updated since February 9th. What's up?

In classic Vegas style, the Westgate announced a Suzanne Somers one-year residency with great fanfare, which included renaming the theater after her, as well as a Suzanne spa, cosmetics store and an organic cafe. However they were quick to throw in the towel and quietly abandon everything "Suzanne" after just a few short months. I'll assume it all comes down to dollars and, at this stage of her career, she just wasn't the draw that someone thought she would be. But why wouldn't the Westgate (or any hotel/casino, for that matter) start with a much shorter residency first to determine how any star would draw before deciding to go "all in" on them? Or is that just typical Vegas hype at its best?
