Binion's recently closed its hotel part of the operation downtown. Are any of the downtown hotels other than the Nugget trying to "upgrade" their rooms in 2010 to attract a more upscale client? I love downtown, but just don't feel comfortable staying there yet.

Having been to Las Vegas in the months of Dec., Jan., and Feb., I was wondering which months during the year you consider to be the better ones as far as the weather is concerned?

Several years ago, my wife was playing $1 blackjack at Slots A Fun when a gentleman who introduced himself as Tony sat next to her. He was very friendly and offered tips to my wife and the other players. He even left the table for few minutes to get play coupons for everyone from Circus Circus. Tony looked familiar, but it wasn't until later in the day that I realized it was Anthony Curtis (I’d seen him on the Travel Channel.) Does Anthony still mingle with the tourists?

I am interested in knowing how the sponsership for the WSOP works. I noticed the winner, Joe Cada, prior to the Final 9 break, was wearing Ultimate Bet logos and then after the 3-month break, came back wearing PokerStars. I have to imagine that the sponsership offer from Pokerstars must have trumped Ultimate Bet's offer. I would have thought that Joe Cada might have some obligation to Ultimate Bet since he was originally wearing their gear. Please elaborate.

We have our whole family coming to Vegas next month for a vow renewal. My question is, can you tell me some things to do or go to that our older teenagers might have fun doing? Are there any nightclubs for those under 21?

I was watching an re-run of the TV show "Las Vegas" and they went to a pancake house that was topless. Does a place like that really exist in Vegas?

I’m an arcade freak from way back and my brother told me on my next trip to Vegas, I have to visit the pinball museum there. Can you tell me what it is, where it is, and who runs it?

I have never read anything about Kenny Kerr's "Boylesque" on Question of the Day. It played at the Silver Slipper and then I think the Stardust. I believe it was before Frank Marino’s "La Cage." Please inform some of us old Las Vegas patrons on this question.

What in your view does Las Vegas look like this year -- for closings and openings and any other trends that might be brewing?

Happy New Year!
