I understand that Jackie Gaughan lived in a penthouse at the El Cortez until his death. My question is, will Gaughan's penthouse be made available to the public as a hotel suite to rent out? It would be cool to stay in the same suite where the great man actually lived!

Interesting question concerning America's Got Talent and who did good. How about winners of American Idol. I know Carrie Underwood has done outstanding but to my knowledge not in Vegas. Taylor Hicks had a show for a time. Any others?

Has the Playboy Club found a new home yet since they parted ways with the Palms?

When driving to Reno from California I see billboards boasting that a casino was voted best for this or that. Who is voting for these casinos? What organizations create these polls? Are these claims worth anything or just self-generated hype?

We return with the concluding part of yesterday's answer, in which our take on a recent Fortune article regarding Caesars' bankruptcy was requested. Here's our two cents.

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?
