It would be beneficial to know which Caesars properties are in bankruptcy and which are not. Also your comments regarding the recent Fortune magazine article about this absolute mess would be interesting.

I stayed downtown at the end of June and on my morning run east on Fremont I noticed that ALL the motels past the Experience, including the larger Western, were closed and fenced off. Are there plans for those parcels, or is it a case of the city trying to get the "characters" that stayed at those places away from the area?

What is happening out at Lake Las Vegas? We were there two years ago, and there was nothing going on. A few shops and restaurant were open, but really no reason for visiting.

I’m curious to know if The Rio has begun any renovations to the exterior of the building. When I was there in March, I couldn’t help but notice the blue and red paint not looking so good. Also, the rooms were in need of updating. Any scoop is helpful! Love your work, by the way!

Dear LVA pros, if the Hi-Lo Lite count in Arnold Syder’s book Blackbelt in Blackjack uses a "true edge" rather than a "true count," how does this affect how I read the indices? For example, when Snyder's table says "stand on a 12 vs. 2 when you have a count of +2," does this mean a true count of +2 or a true edge of +2%? And if the table is using true-count numbers, what’s the point of using a true-edge calculation? How do I know what my 2% advantage in the true edge translates to in a true count?

I have checked "LVA question of the day" archives for information about Mac King and found only show place, time & price details. Please share his history and any other interesting facts about Mac King.

One of the questions asked in the June 30 QOD requesting info about the Wynn golf course was how many rounds of golf were played there. Is that info available?

In the Los Angeles Times today there was mention of Bonnie Springs Ranch which is near Red Rock Canyon. In all of my trips to Las Vegas and being an LVA member, I have never heard of it. It sounds a bit like Oatman [a former mining town and current tourist attraction in Arizona] but is only 22 miles from the Strip. Is it worth checking out?

I just returned from my second trip recently to Las Vegas, and I have walked by the Grand Bazaar shops, and on both occasions the place is virtually empty. With the news that Wahlburgers isn't coming, how long will this mall last? Also, the religious types shouting at the bottom of the pedestrian walkway surely doesn't help.

What is the status of Dotty’s and their opening of casinos?
