I have read in various Las Vegas history books about how the Mob would bury people in the desert. With all the expansion in the valley over the years, has a Mob buried body ever been unearthed during construction of houses? If so, what part of town was the Mob’s favorite burial ground?

My sister and I have been making yearly trips to Las Vegas for seven years now and one of the things we enjoy there is the free show of Big Elvis at Bill's. You recently mentioned that he is moving to Harrah's May 3rd. Will this mean that he is no longer going to be a free show and will everyone with his show make the move as well?

I have read that in order to maintain a site for potential development of a gaming operation, city ordinances require that casino gambling occur there for at least eight hours every two years. United Coin is usually involved because its specialty is to set up temporary casino sites in tents or trailers to preserve gaming licenses. My question: What kind of games are offered and are the odds lousy? Does anyone ever win?

Your QOD from May 4th briefly mentioned some history on the Bonanza Gift Shop. Can you give us the full history on the site and how the gift store came to be? The QOD archives does not have a lot of info on it.

I just returned from another great trip to Las Vegas. While there I took some pictures of the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign and noticed that behind the "WELCOME" letters there appears to be 1946 Roosevelt dimes. Can you explain what they mean?

For many years we've stayed at the Flamingo mainly for their tennis courts. With the Linq project underway, they have gotten rid of their courts. Do you know of anywhere else on the Strip (or close by) that has courts available?

"Hey, you didn't go back far enough on the black building with the pink awnings on Sahara & Las Vegas Blvd. In the '50s & '60s that was Foxy's Deli (I believe the first one in Vegas). It was very popular with great Corned Beef, Pastrami, Matzah Ball Soup, etc. It was a big deal at that time."

Can you tell me anything about Elara, the Hilton Grand Vacations hotel, located right behind Planet Hollywood? I’ll be in Vegas celebrating my 40th birthday in October and I like the idea of redeeming hotel points for my stay.
