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?

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?

I will be in Vegas on the Fourth of July. Can you tell me if anything special will be going on and the schedule for the fireworks?

Whenever you post a readers' opinion poll, there are generally multiple-choice answers with a number of cleverly written responses to choose from. The answers offered are probably designed to make us readers think more about the question, as some are serious, some humorous, some even frivolous. That's probably to entertain us readers while we answer the poll, which it does, but my question is: Just who writes those clever answers? One writer's assignment, or a bunch of guys sitting around your office? A couple of guys having a beer or a combination of your staff? They do make the polls more interesting, but who is/are the author(s)?
