Does Las Vegas have any live streaming webcams?

I was wondering if there are any hints you could provide about how to handle cabbies in Las Vegas? How do you know that they are taking the quickest route for that time of day? I was told that if you informed the driver to take the "direct" route he/she had to get you to your destination in the shortest possible time, allowing for traffic. Is there any truth to that?

How much does each deck of cards cost the casino?

In reference to the build-up of the North Strip with SLS and Resorts World Las Vegas being planned, wasn't there another Asian-themed hotel/casino planned, perhaps just off the Strip on Sahara? Is this project still in the pipeline?

Okay, this is probably such a simple question that I'm reluctant to ask. My wife and I have been visiting Vegas about every three or four months for the last two years. We are decidedly low rollers. Video poker has been our staple. More recently, we've added craps and some table games. Generally speaking for say a casino like Bally's, is there a ballpark guideline for reaching a level of play before it would be downright embarrassing to ask a pit boss for a comp for a pair of dinner buffets? We usually play $5 and $10 tables for blackjack, craps, Three Card Poker, and Let It Ride. Everything we read says "ask," but I don't want to make a fool out of myself.

Many times I have passed Blue Diamond Road and have wondered what the genesis of that name is...can you help?

What's former LVA editor Deke Castleman up to these days?

What is the industrial site north of Las Vegas beside I-15, just before you reach the junction with the Bruce Woodbury Beltway? When I stayed at Aliante Casino and drove that way I noticed a significant amount of activity that involved the Union Pacific railroad. Is it a quarry of some sort?

Regarding the recent 10-year anniversary of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, wasn't there an issue with the ownership of the name? Did someone else have rights to the name? If so, what was the end result for Caesars to get the rights to the name The Colosseum?

I love hearing about both the construction and destruction of projects on the Strip. The Harmon was going to be demolished. Are there any updates as to when that may actually happen?
