I just returned from staying five nights at Fitzgeralds. One of the employees told my wife that Don Barden died in May. I had never heard this, and found it hard to believe, but when I looked it up, I found that he died of lung cancer on May 19. The Review Journal web site had nothing on it, and the Sun had a four sentence article. I did notice that the chips with Barden's picture on them were no longer in use, and the press release section of Fitzgeralds' web site was also silent. Is there a reason for his death to be ignored like this?

I am not always able to read QOD on a daily basis and rely on the archives from time to time. However, if I miss the poll question on the day it comes out, I find no opportunity to read what it is and respond. How can I access your poll question if I miss it when first proposed?

What is going on at Koval and Harmon? I thought a new casino, resort etc. was going to be built. It has been an eyesore for years.

Whatever happened to Venetian’s Venezia Tower? Is it open to the public or shut down indefinitely due to the economy? I’ve had many offers from the Venetian and Palazzo, but never once from the Venezia, which makes me want to stay there more.

During last week’s radio broadcast of "Gambling With An Edge", it was mentioned that casinos use a "code" so that security knows if a drink is alcoholic or not. The "code" is based on the straw in the drink. Can you explain what the code is?

Obviously the plans fell through, but what can you tell us about the proposals to build pedestrian tunnels instead of overpasses in the area of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard?

We are celebrating a family anniversary. Which Strip restaurants have private rooms that can accommodate up to 40 guests for dinner?

As the deadline of what to do about The Harmon in City Center looms, it seems both sides have been very quiet. What is going on?

I am a foodie so I own a copy of Eating Las Vegas: The 50 Essential Restaurants. The restaurant scene over the past 12 months has changed, with several new restaurants opening (e.g., Beso) and at least one closure (Rosemary’s), so when is Eating Las Vegas II coming out?

I'll be in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks for my annual visit. While I will certainly not be tied to a laptop, I may need to refer to it for a couple of minutes to check on an important matter. My question, are there Wi-Fi hot spots in all hotels (I'll be staying at the Rio)?
