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?

I have not seen your list of "Trailer Casinos" for 2013. Are any scheduled?

In Vegas last week, I took a cab from Bally's to the Marriott Grand Chateau by the MGM. The driver was going along the backside of Bally's, when a woman tried to flag him down, unaware he had a fare. He stopped, got out of the cab, and told her he had a fare, but asked where she was going. She was going the other direction, but another couple behind her said they were going to the Hard Rock hotel, which was in the direction we were going, so he picked them up!!! Isn't that illegal? He was basically double dipping because he got a full fare from me and a full fare from the other two. I didn't know these people and honestly, I thought it was skeevy of him to add two other passengers to my ride. I didn't get the driver's name or license but after thinking about it, it seems wrong to pick up "side" fares.

I was wondering what the status of the Blue Angel is. Isn't it due to be taken down? She is one of my favorite things to go by and see. I make my sisters ride the bus that goes by her every time we visit your wonderful city.
