How do you read the odds for winning the NCAA basketball tournament? My team is Creighton and it says +11500.

I watched a new TV show called "Vegas" this season and wondered if the main hotel in it, The Savoy, was based on any particular existing or former hotel in Vegas?

You have probably answered this before, but I was curious. I see the playing cards in gift shops that are marked "played in a casino" or something similar. Sometimes they give them out when you sign up for a player's card. So how long does a deck of cards last in a casino? How old are they when they are removed and sold?

I was wondering what ever happened to Manuel Corchuelo, the person who had a small lot near Naked City that he was trying to get one million dollars for? You ran an article about him in April, 2010.

My wife and I will be be visiting Las Vegas in April, along with our daughter, son-in-law, and their two young children (ages 4 and 5). We would like to know if there are any magic shows that they could go to, and that they would be allowed in, at that young of an age?

Several years back I asked you a question about accommodation for the visually impaired in Las Vegas. You did some research on restaurants on the Strip and found that none of them had Braille or large print menus at the time. You said only the Venetian seemed to take your question seriously and that you would follow up on this later. Has anything changed since then? I know at the time you had stated that many properties said that the staff would be happy to read a menu to a blind guest. Well, have you ever tried to get a waiter or waitress to read a menu in a crowded place where they are already overworked? Not likely to happen and if it does, I can pretty much guarantee that if you find anyone to tell you anything, it will be the shortest version possible, asking what you like rather than giving you access to all that is available. Would you please, please follow up on this? We come to Vegas several times a year and this has always been a bone of contention. Is it not time for things to change? Also, while on that subject, we have noticed many casinos now turn down the sound on their slot machines. This certainly makes playing a little fun for those who are blind or visually impaired. Is it okay to push the assistance button for a slot attendant to turn up the sound on the machine?

Reader Poll feedback: As we promised on Saturday, we received so much email feedback regarding our last poll that we opted to reproduce a good number of the responses in place of today's QoD. While many of you made valid arguments both for and against LVA membership, a good portion of the emails we received were either bewildering, or unintentionally hilarious, or both (for which thanks -- you truly brightened a wet and windy Friday afternoon when we read through them all!) So, here are some of the responses to our last poll question, together with some feedback of our own...
