I just had a dear friend pass away. His favorite place to go was Las Vegas. I would like to know if there is some way to honor his memory there? I vaguely recall a past QOD about either buying a brick at the Flamingo or something about a bulb in the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Can you please help?

Can you explain the differences between "middle," "side," "scalp," and "straddle"?

Are any of the book titles you carry available in audio-book format? I have a long commute every day and listen to a lot of audio books, but rarely have a chance to sit down and read.

We really enjoyed the backstage tour of Bally’s Jubilee show using the LVA coupon last year. Do any other shows offer special backstage tours? We are spending 10 days in LV in August and have seen all the shows already. We would like to try more backstage-type activities.

I’m a little confused about the $100 Terrible’s rebate on losses. How do you determine if and when you reach the loss level? Is it total coin-in regardless of coin-out? Is it total coin-in less any winnings? For example, let’s say you put in a hundred-dollar bill and win $500. Do you take out the $500, put $400 in your pocket, put the original $100 back in, lose it, and consider that the loss of the $100 and get the $100 in free-play from the casino? Or does it work differently? Who determines if, when, and how you’ve lost your original $100?

In a recent cab ride to downtown from the Strip, we passed an interesting building that was all steel and seemed to partially have collapsed on itself. The cab driver said it was art. What can you tell me about the building and who is the artist. Is it possible to show a picture of the building?

What is up with The Meridian at Hughes Center? It was a hotel resort, now it is not. It looks great in photographs but when you arrive there is some large electrical transformer or something in front of the property. The entrance off of Flamingo Road is closed, then not closed. Someone said there are a lot of pending lawsuits regarding this property. It looks nice and perfectly located to the Strip for someone looking for non-gaming accommodations.
