Can you update us on the most recent "transformation" at the Gold Spike? My wife and I dropped in there last week, during the day and were a bit surprised to be staring at the "centrepiece" of what is apparently a new style of club...a very large bed!

With the popularity of pawn shops on TV, many of them Vegas-based, what can you tell us about the best destinations in Vegas to buy and sell our stuff?

What? The answer to the 7/18 QoD said chips shouldn't be used for tips. I have never seen a cocktail waitress tipped in anything BUT. So, how do they escape the rules regarding not gambling in their places of employment?

We went to see Priscilla Queen of The Desert on Wednesday evening and really enjoyed the show. However we found out that the run has been cut short and is ending this weekend. We could not find out any reason for this and wondered if you could throw any light on it.

What nightclubs offer live blackjack? What are the procedures for bypassing the lines to get to the tables?

I know you're not meant to give casino chips as tip, but is it OK to give leftover ticket-in/ticket-out slips as tips to maids, valets, cocktail waitresses, etc., as long as they're for an appropriate amount?

I heard that Binions is opening a King's Ransom Elvis Museum. Any word on how much it will cost to see it and what is in it.

I was sorry to read about the tragic death of performer in KA. What does this mean for the future of the show, and for other shows on the Strip? Will the show close, or continue on? (It's still a great show, despite the tragedy). And please forgive my morbid curiosity but is this the first time a performer has been killed during a live performance in Las Vegas? The nearest I can think of is Evel Knievel being severely injured jumping over the fountain at Caesars Palace.

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?
