I was talking to a long-time Las Vegas resident (George) while gaming at Main Street Station. The interior design of Main Street Station is quite unique with exquisite detail from the light fixtures, and stained-glass ceiling to the wooden walls. George went on to an elaborate explanation on the interior and evolution of Main Street Station. George explained that the original wooden interior (as it still stands today) was hand-carved and imported from Germany. At that time there was a dance hall in the mezzanine above the casino floor. The original owner subsequently sold the casino to Debbie Reynolds, who George said screwed up the wooden interior by painting over portions of the wood. George went on to say that Reynolds ultimately sold the casino to the Station Casino Group that ultimately sold it to the Boyd Group. How much of this it true?

I read in LVA that the Nevada State Prison is one of the oldest in the country, dating back to the 1860s. There must be some good stories associated with it in all those years.

Recently it was Las Vegas night on the Turner movie channel I guess... "Ocean's Eleven," "Viva Las Vegas," and "The Las Vegas Story" from 1952, with Jane Russell, Victor Mature, and Vincent Price. Over the years you have fielded many questions (with answers) re movies and Las Vegas, but I don't recall this movie in any of your answers, nor did I remember ever seeing it before. The two main properties were the "Last Chance" and the "Fabulous". This was a Howard Hughes film production, I believe. Any other insight you can provide?

What was the name of that casino that was west of the Westin Casuarina and east of Bills on Flamingo Road? It’s now a flat piece of land. Years ago when I stayed at the Maxim, I would go next door to that casino and play a little. I heard that the owner had a police record and that the place was shut down. Any information would help.

The recent questions on incomplete construction projects got me wondering about the unfinished steel shell between the Palazzo/Venetian. Wasn't this supposed to be condos? Is it most cost effective to complete it, or tear out the ugly eyesore?

It's been years since the dealers at Wynn Las Vegas and Caesars voted for union representation, yet no contract has been signed. Can it possibly take years to negotiate a contract if both sides are acting in good faith? Is there any chance of the government stepping in and forcing both sides into binding arbitration? Any information on the progress, or lack thereof, would be appreciated.

For years I’ve been hearing the name Christopher Milam in conjunction with casinos and sports arenas in Las Vegas. Who is he and has anything he’s announced ever been built?
