Could you update your list of farmers markets from last year? I've heard of a new one opening downtown and there is also a farm somewhere that sells fresh eggs and vegetables.

Could you please share a little background on your new mayor, Carolyn Goodman? Was she previously in politics? Your publication "The First 100" said she started the Meadows School, an outstanding private academy. Any other information would be appreciated. Oscar Goodman seemed to be a much needed and positive force for Las Vegas. For him, the showgirls seemed to work, but I'm not sure something like Chippendale dancers would be right for the new mayor.

A Las Vegas bar called Rounders has a coupon that pays a $20 bonus for a "straight to the 8," but it doesn't explain what that means. Does a straight to the 8 end on 8, begin on 8, or simply include 8 anywhere in the straight?

Today's is a two-parter on a common theme: "What happened to the Augustus Cafe at Caesars Palace? Is it closed or being refurbished?" And: "I was recently on the Excalibur's website checking on the breakfast specials that were being offered at Dick's Last Resort and noticed that the Sherwood Forest Cafe wasn't listed any longer. Did Excalibur close their coffee shop?"

I have been told there is a patron saint of gamblers. Is there?

The other day I heard something on the TV about legionaires disease at the Aria in City Center. I didn't hear the whole story but they said that if you were there in June of this year, you may have gotten it. What's the story? I only ask because: I WAS THERE IN JUNE.

Since the Venetian (on Sahara) closed several years ago we have tried several Italian restaurants hoping to find one as good, but have failed. We especially miss their house salad dressing. Can you locate the recipe? Any suggestions on where to go for REAL Italian food?

Years ago I went downtown and stayed at the Mint hotel and casino. What happened to the Mint?

I have a question for Bob Dancer or the LVA staff. Are there reasonable investment opportunities in video poker teams? It seems as though the margins are so thin, even when video poker is expertly played, that there would be no advantages to video poker as an investment, other than for comps.

What ever became of entertainer Sandy Hackett?
