Obviously, there continues to be much "renovation" and re-branding along the Strip and downtown. Question: During one of these "makeovers" has anything of great value or interest been found on the property: I do recall an old newspaper being found during the IP/Quad conversion, but wonder about the other construction that has occurred and is occurring?

You just listed the smaller stand-alone casinos in the area. How are these small concerns doing financially; are they making money for the owners? Can you list the top ten money makers from the list over the past year or two? And what about the Dotty's "chain"? Where do they fit?

Is it true the Mardi Gras in the Sky show at the Rio has been closed down since March of this year?

Just wondered how many acres of land the larger casinos on the Strip occupy? Seems like MGM Grand and Caesars Palace would have the most but maybe not. I always think about it when I visit.

I was just wondering if you can tell us how the renovations of Bill's Gaming Hall is coming along? When is the projected date for it to reopen and what will its new name be? I'm sure you have told us before but I can't remember what it was.

In the past, you've written about some of the crazy-expensive things to eat and drink in Las Vegas. Any update on that?

I think I remember reading that Terrible's had changed its name. If so, what is it now called and are they still honoring coupons from the Advisor Member Rewards Book?

Which was the first hotel in Las Vegas that charged a resort fee?

The TV show "Pawn Stars" has caused people to be lined up on the sidewalk to get into the store just to look, but how does one get into the shop to actually pawn or sell items to them?!

Do you have any idea why cell-phone service is so bad in hotel/casinos unless you're outside the buildings? Last week when I was in Las Vegas I -- and guests staying at different hotel/casinos -- had the same problem. Are the hotel/casinos trying to suppress service because of possible cheating?
