Any idea what the Gulf oil spill is going to do to the price of shrimp cocktails in Las Vegas, especially at the Golden Gate?

How old was Howard Hughes when he died? And what was the official cause of death?

I have a client coming to town. Do you know of anywhere she can stay with her three dogs?

I will be returning to Vegas in late June. Does anyone offer video poker lessons? There are so many different games, how does one choose?

In regards to the QoD for June 15, 2010, you list gaming job swings in an number of states as a result of the depression. I could not help but notice that you left out Oklahoma. We have a large number of gaming locations including the third-largest casino in North America, WinStar. I just looked again, you left out Connecticut home of Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, and California with tons of card rooms. What gives?

I don’t play poker, so this might be a dumb question, but what is the origin of the title "Kill Phil"?

I'll be going to Vegas in about 10 days with a group of friends and they would like to do Karaoke. Any recommendations??

How many casino dealers and other hotel workers lost their jobs due to this recession, and will they ever find employment again any time soon in a casino?

Any info on whether the slots in those trailer stations pay more/less/the same as "regular" casino machines or does it vary by operator? Do they have to have a certain level of patronage, or is the entitlement preserved even if no customers show up? Do they have to serve food or beverages? Just curious about a weird way of doing business …

Your recent QOD on the Key Largo sparked another question: You mentioned that they lost their unrestricted gaming license. I recall a couple of times over the past few years a trailer being set up for a day at a few different closed casinos to help keep their license, but haven't seen this in over a year. My recollection is that this had to be done annually, so whoever did it a couple of years ago seems to have wasted time. Have any trailer casinos been run in the last 12 months, and if so, where?
