Reading the response to Friday's question about the gas station, and looking at the 1968 photograph, I'm wondering what was on the site previously of each of the current Strip hotels? For example, what hotels are now on the site of the old Desert Inn, Frontier, or Dunes hotels? It might even be interesting to go off-Strip a little. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Can I rent a cabana for the day at a hotel I am not staying at? I will be in Vegas late August and would like a cabana with air conditioning, for obvious reasons.

In in a recent QoD you referred to "former Senior Editor" Deke Castleman. Is he no longer with your organization? If not, why is that?

Did there used to be a gas station where The Mirage and/or Treasure Island now stand, until the early '90s? I swear I can remember filling up there, in August 1990!

I watch and record shows about Las Vegas history and documentaries whenever I can at home in Canada. Why do there not seem to be as many shows about Las Vegas these days? The ones I see now seem to all be very outdated re-runs.

While staying at the Mandalay Bay last week, we had a room that faced McCarran International Airport. At the corner of the Strip and Hacienda Avenue we saw from our room what looked like a large yellow star or compass painted on the ground. Do you have any idea what it is and its purpose?

I just saw your Today's News item about "octogenarian comic" Marty Allen. He's really 89 years old?! Does that make him the oldest performer in Las Vegas? If not, who is?

I love the QOD feature, and read it just about every day. I was wondering how often Anthony Curtis contributes to the answers?

I remember, a few years back, that you could check into some hotels at the airport. Are there still hotels that do that and if so, which ones are they?

A few years back you used to open up the archives of QOD for a 24-hour period for everyone about once a year. I have not seen this in the last few years. Any plans of doing this again?
