How are casino hosts compensated? Do they earn a commission on a player’s theo or actual losses?

I used to make it a habit when I visited Vegas to take a dive off the AJ Hackett Bungee Tower by Circus Circus. I heard it is now closed. Why did it shut down and what would you recommend for me and other adrenaline junkies while visiting Vegas?

Can you tell us anything about the history of the Plaza? It's pretty rundown now, but it sure looks like it must have been quite the place when it was first built. Thanks!

Question 1: As a follow-up to your answer to today's question (QoD 4/9/10) about casino hosts, my question is, how much do you need to bring to Vegas in order for the casino hosts to be interested in hosting you? Question 2: What size bankroll does one need in order to feel they can enlist the services of a casino host? If you tell them you have a certain size bankroll and you don't put it in action, what can you expect the repercussions to be, if any?

How many e-mails do you send out a day? I enjoy the various topics and send to other friends.

We'll be there in June to catch some World Cup matches. Where, besides Crown & Anchor pub, are good places to catch the matches.

"Always split aces and eights." I have two 8s and I’m looking at a dealer's ten card. Seems like I’m asking to end up with two losing 18's. What say you?

I have been a regular at the Venetian and Palazzo for years. What happened to two of my favorite restaraunts, David Burke and Charlie Palmer?

I read an article a while back about a whisper around Las Vegas that some casinos were thinking of bring the coin-in/coin-out slots and video poker machines back. Was that just some old Las Vegas ghost or is there some truth to it? Sure do miss those machines and the pleasure we had playing them.

As has been discussed on this site, Las Vegas is losing many of its traditional casino coffee shops. Even quite a few of those still around have given up on 24/7. On my last visit to Las Vegas, I took a chance and popped into a family restaurant called BLUEBERRY HILL on Flamingo, just East of The Strip. I enjoyed a delicious gourmet omelette together with by far the best pancakes I have had in ages. What can you tell us about this chain of family restaurants?
