Showgirls are one of the icons of Las Vegas, but they seem to be disappearing from anything except ads and Oscar Goodman's arms. Other thant Jubilee!, which shows actually use iconic Las Vegas showgirls today?

This week the Hard Rock in Tampa announced that it's become the sixth-largest casino in the world. Their unit of measure is the number of "seats" for slot players and at the tables. Is this a valid measurement or hype? Just how many units of measure are there anyway?

It was reported in February that the D was going to get a Sigma Derby game as part of its renovations. Anyone know if it’s been installed yet?

Love LVA and "Question of the Day." I read them every day. Quick question: In the monthly newsletter, you always give the "gambling win." For example the win/loss is up/down in Nevada, the Strip, Boulder Highway, etc. Is this "gambling win" the gross win by the casinos, the net win (wins minus losses), gross profit (net win minus other expenses), the drop, etc.? Should be an interesting answer. Just wondering.

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?

My friend told me that her father owned the Tam O'Shanter next to the Sands when she was a young girl. I sort of remember it myself when I visited Vegas in the '50s and '60s. What can you tell me about it?

I presume this will show up in your "news" column but would LOVE to hear much more detail about how the same winning number supposedly came up seven times IN A ROW on a Rio roulette wheel.

The TV show "Tanked" is about 2 brothers that build fancy aquariums. One of the episodes showed a gumball aquarium that was supposed to be on the outside verandah at Caesars' Serendipity ice cream parlor. I went to Serendipity 3 in February and June and it's nowhere around. Was it put somewhere else? I realize Feb. is probably too cold for the inhabitants, but the weather was nice in June. They also did an episode on the aquarium at Tropicana's Mob Museum. Do you know if that one is still there? And is the Mob Museum at the Trop now worth seeing?

Is it true that the airport authority has sold the demolition rights to the old Terminal 2 to a movie company to use in some big explosion scene in a movie? And if so, do you have any more details?

I read where 5 domestic airlines are moving to the new terminal 3, which 5 are they?
