While on Fremont, I noticed Las Vegas Club didn’t douse the lights when the Fremont Street Experience show was performing and recalled that the owners in the past had been in arrears for payment to the FSE. Are there still problems between the two?

In the Question of the Day for 9/23/2014, regarding cracks in the Las Vegas Monorail’s supporting columns (if you didn’t read it, fear not - they are merely superficial flesh wounds), we promised we would attempt to track down a copy of a very interesting account of the project’s history, originally published in the now-defunct CityLife alt weekly. As luck would have it, thanks to a chance encounter at G2E, here it is! But first, a little "front" (as opposed to back) story, so to speak, since we couldn't help but feel a little chintzy to merely post a link to other people's work as today's answer. (It may be the weekend, but QoD seldom sleeps, outside of our annual Christmas and New Years's Day vacations :-)

Is the Major League Soccer stadium planned for Symphony Park in downtown Las Vegas still on track?

I was wondering who the current owners of the Riviera Hotel & Casino are and if there are any plans for the property? (QoD 8/14/14 revisited.)

What ever happened to the giant Big Six Wheel at Vegas World, and the "space junk" hanging from the ceiling?

With Krave closing a few years ago at Planet Hollywood, and then the relocated Krave closing in downtown, are there any plans for another LGBT club on the Strip?

A little more than a year ago, Metro announced the installation of 37 cameras along the Strip. According to the news article, four of those cameras went into one intersection: Las Vegas Boulevard at Paris Drive/Bellagio Drive … W. Bellagio Drive, south-to-west traffic signal … Paris Drive East, southeast corner … Bellagio Drive/Paris Drive intersection, north-center median … Bellagio Drive/Paris Drive intersection, northeast corner Today, I count not four, but 12 cameras at that intersection, with two more being added. My question is, what gives?

I'm curious about the process for international performers who come to Las Vegas to work. I assume they have to get visas. For the recently closed show, Sydney After Dark, do those Australians immediately have to return home, or are they allowed to look for a new job in the same field?

Today, we address two related questions in one. Firstly: "Can you give us some information on the new hotel The Linq? Will the Quad hotel become The Linq or will they be two separate hotels? We are presently booked into The Quad for mid-October and have heard that The Linq is opening in October. We are also needing to know if their pool will be open by October 10. " Plus: "Now that the room upgrades are being done on the Quad and a name change coming this fall, is there any plans on doing something with the front of the building? With all the garish, over-the-top designs the casinos put forth to lure us in, I can't think of a more bland or uninviting exterior than the Quad: blank front with multiple doors that go nowhere and no signage. Are they going to do something about this with the new name change?"

Are there any Las Vegas casinos that offer Solitaire?
