In Today's News the day after Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, you stated that it was the fourth time in Atlantic City's history that the casinos had been forced to close. When were the previous three times, and why?

Any updates on the proposed Phoenix-to-Vegas interstate that has been proposed in the past? It could really help with our drive to Vegas!

Will you be printing some of the interesting and humorous feedback you mentioned from the last poll regarding the Imperial Palace name change to The Quad?

Can you explain how parlays and teasers work when there's a tie? All the picks have to win to have a winning bet, but if you bet a 2-teamer, 3-teamer, or any number of teams and one of the results is a tie, what happens? And is the rule the same everywhere, or do you have to be careful before playing?

Is Vegas taking bets on the presidential election and what are the current odds? Do they take separate bets for the national and Nevada outcome and if so, how do the current odds differ?

A short time ago you opened up the archives in order to have you readers submit any QoDs that were missing. How did this go? Did you recover a lot of the lost files???

As I was getting ready for another trip to Las Vegas in a few weeks, I was sorting through my collection of slot cards and noticed several (Palms and Bill's, specifically) that had expiration dates printed on them. My question is why? They don't clear your info off the computer after a long absence. It would seem it would cost more in staff time to make new cards for infrequent vistors. I am only able to go to LV about once every 12-18 months. What is their reasoning?

Many years ago there was a show at New York-New York, which had street musicians I believe mostly from New York City - it was very good and our daughter bought the CD from it as it was being sold by a "street person" in the theatre from a raincoat lining - she has lost the CD and i would really like to replace it for her - any ideas?

Your answer to the question on the NFR week in Vegas had a quote from Michael Gaughan, from a 2010 interview, stating that because of the success of the NFR, Vegas now only has one bad week in December. Is this still true and if so, which is the slowest "bad" week? Would it be a good time to find the lowest hotel rates?

A couple of weeks ago, Fezzik referenced a "soft line" (vs. a "hard line"). Can you explain what this means?
