Since I know you aren’t shying away from certain subjects (e.g. the "naughtiest thing you’ve done in Vegas" poll), maybe you’ll decide to tackle this one (evil grin). In an issue last year of your LVA newsletter, I noticed that the AVN would be in Vegas 1/15-1/18. You showed prices $55-$275. Since I thought this was a porn movie-star "convention," the question comes to mind: What does this pricing cover??? Do I get "more" for my $275 than I would for my $55 fee?? Inquiring minds wanna know :) Should be a fun answer, should you guys decide to tackle this one :) Merry Christmas!!

Which casino is known for testing the newest slot machines in their casino first? Is there such a "testing casino"?

Your recent QOD (7/14/14), about longest-running contemporary Strip headliner, mentioned Lance Burton and the fact that his show ended in 2010. It made me think about ALL the former long-running headliners, like Elvis, Siegfried & Roy, Liberace, Wayne Newton, etc. Is there a list of long-running residencies? If there isn’t already a standard definition, I would consider long-running as 10 years or more, and a residency as doing at least 5 shows per week for at least 40 weeks per year. (Hmmm... Would the above examples qualify under my definition?)

This week’s Sample Sunday selection, My Week at the Blue Angel – And Other Stories from the Storm Drains, Strip Clubs, and Trailer Parks of Las Vegas, is representative of a number of creative non-fiction titles we’ve published over the years. The author, Matt O’Brien, is our foremost practitioner of the style, if his two Nevada Arts Council artist-fellowship grants and his Nevada Writers Hall of Fame Silver Pen Award are any indication.

For years when in Vegas betting horses, some bets were called H/Q or H/EX o H/TRI. Do they still have these and can you explain what they mean?

I'm a Vegas limo driver and recently drove a wedding couple and their friends to Bellagio after their wedding because they wanted to take pictures in the Conservatory and by the Fountains. While by the fountain show, a Bellagio security guard came up and informed them that wedding pictures were not permitted anywhere on the property. I'm not sure why this is a rule or why you can take pictures anywhere on the property unless you're in a wedding gown, but this is what they were told. Do you have any clue why this rule exists?

Vegas resident and Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil has had his name (using a licensing agreement?) on many Vegas ventures. Just how many have there been and how many are still in business? I remember reading that he was going to have some kind of high-end jet business that catered to high rollers or something. I don't think anything ever came of that one.

What's happening with the new Border Grill that was being added to the Forum Shops at Caesars?

Could you give the readers an update on the Rivers Palms Hotel and Casino in Laughlin. The old news is that the property was sold, then the sale was canceled; the downstairs is going to be remodeled, but it's not; they have plans for renovation and maintenance, but they never occur; etc., etc., etc. Could you send in your elite team of fact finders and let the readers know just what is the real story with River Palms. Thanks

Hi! Could you tell me what the average person spends on gambling per day while in Las Vegas? I've seen somewhere that the average is $529.00, but I don't know if that's per day or for a trip, and if the latter, how long is the average trip? Thanks.
