I want to bet lots of props for the Super Bowl. What’s the situation?

On a Facebook forum I follow someone posted about a friend trying to collect a $1 chip from every casino. Only Binion's and the Four Queens said they couldn't sell a single dollar chip at the cage because it was 'against their policy'. Can you shed some light on why there might be a policy against this? Are there any laws that govern 'selling' of casino chips? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

I see all the live cams the television stations use from locations all over town. Is there a "master list" of all the Las Vegas webcams?

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?
