Are there any resources/sites/blogs regarding living in Las Vegas? I’m moving there in less than a month!

We have been to Vegas many times. We stay on the Strip but love going down to Fremont Street one or two times each trip. We always take a taxi but it is now getting pricey to do so. Any tips on a way to get there from the Strip that doesn't break our gambling budget or take all day?

At Boyd Gaming what is the difference between card-score points and slot points?

I have been gambling for years, usually posting a loss or small win for the year. I retired this year and what a difference to the calculations! Now re Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), I have to include the total amount of wins as income on the first page of the IRS form, which raises the AGI, even though I was a loser for the year - I don’t get to subtract the loss. I have spoken with a CPA and she states that yes, it’s true. This grossly inflates our AGI and increases our tax rate. Would love to hear Jean Scott’s take on this.

A few years ago on "Pawn Stars," they purchased articles that were involved in the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. I believe they were purchased for about one thousand dollars, which seemed rather inexpensive to me. Just wondering if Gold & Silver Pawn ever resold the items and, if so, how much they got for them?

Any idea what happened to the large stained-glass decoration that was part of Barbary Coast and then Bill’s Gambling Hall, but was disassembled for the Cromwell renovation? It was one of the last bits of vintage Las Vegas at the corner of Flamingo and the Strip.

I’ve been curious about the latest news on technological advances for the next generation beyond TITO (ticket in, ticket out) for playing slot and video poker machines. For example, I have heard there are casinos in the Philippines that instead of using TITO, actually store dollar amounts on player cards and add or debit them based on wins and losses at a machine, eliminating the use of tickets entirely. Have you heard anything about when something like this might happen for Las Vegas or US casinos?

My friends and I are seniors and only play nine holes of golf. Which of the local courses can we play?

When I used to come to Vegas with my family in the 1950s. I remember how strict it was that children under 21 years were not allowed in the casino area. There were uniformed guards at all entrances, ready to tell you to leave. Today there is very little evidence of security. I see small children in the casino areas all the time. What gives?

The early history of Circus Circus seems to be hard to access for me. Did they really have a slide as the entry and an admission fee?
