What's up out at Casino MonteLago on Lake Las Vegas? I always thought it was the best little casino around, although it never seemed to attract a loyal following. There were rumors that it would reopen last Fourth of July, then Labor Day, but nothing happened. Are you aware of any current or future plans?

Is downtown Las Vegas improving or getting worse? I recently read an article talking about the large influx of cash a developer sunk into the downtown area a year or two ago, and how the results have been less than promising. I visited Fremont Street last spring and the area certainly seemed crowded, but it actually felt seedier and less safe than it did a decade ago. What's your take?

"Today's News" at Las Vegas Advisor stated that revenue in Macau has decreased significantly the last two years after 12 consecutive years of increase. What are the causes of the decrease the past two years?

How do I find information on which hotels have rental-car kiosks?

Did Liberace really have a private casino in his Vegas home? How was this legal?

I've been reading on your site about so many restaurants closing: Sugar Factory; Sidewalk Cafe at Bally's etc. What gives? These are places I liked to go to! There is now no place between Paris and Bally's that you can go to for a normal bacon-and-eggs breakfast. Don't they think people like breakfast without going to a buffet for $30+??

Looking like the Riv will be sold, do you think the Crazy Girls "buns" display out front would be auctioned off OR do you think it could be incorporated into some type of permanent display inside the Convention Center expansion?

Last year I thought I read an article on LVA stating restaurants would no longer be able to charge an automatic gratuity for larger parties. However, when we were in Vegas last week, I noticed almost all buffets and restaurants had an automatic gratuity charge for larger parties. Did Congress not pass the legislation or are Nevada casinos and restaurant just ignoring it?

What's the update on Wayne Newton?
