I just read on the Internet that the 17,000 sq. foot Underground House is in foreclosure. It cost around $10 million dollars to build and is now listed on the market for $1.7 million. I think you have had a previous QoD, but can you give us more quirky info about this place, please? Have there ever been any people of fame that have lived in this house? Was this place ever a tourist attraction that charged an entry fee or was it simply used as a residence?

I have not seen Chris "Jesus" Ferguson or Howard Lederer compete in any World Series of Poker events since their involvement in the Full Tilt Poker scandal a few years back. Are they banned from playing in the WSOP?

Can you give me info on the zip-line that is opening at the Rio.

Could you please write about Pete McIntyre? He´s supposed to be buried near the I-15 off ramp by Whisky Pete's and Buffalo Bill's. What's the story behind this and what of the Primm name used now?

Is the "servicesleuth" banner ad at the top of your website a legitimate opportunity?

I wonder if you would be kind enough to ask one of your blackjack experts the following question please. On the basic strategy card that I have dated 2000, it advises that the player should split 4s against the dealer's up-card of 5 and 6 only. Could you confirm that this is correct, as I'm being advised by several players that under no circumstances should you split 4s against either the 4 or 5.

What happened to the Kill Phil co-author Blair Rodman? With the WSOP in progress, I was looking forward to his insightful writing, especially about the politics and conflicts of personalities and other issues. Is he persona non grata, or has he simply gone on to other things of more import?

I was driving on the 215 and noticed that it was named for Bruce Woodbury. Who is Bruce Woodbury and what did he do to rate a road named for him?

"Al Sachs and Herb Tobman" Part II

In a couple of recent QoDs, you've mentioned two old-time Vegas casino owners named Al Sachs and Herb Tobman. I'd never heard of either of them -- can you give us some more information, please?
