I read the QoD every day … you folks do a terrific job. I was wondering how many casinos exist in the United States. I remember the old days when one had to go to Nevada to visit a casino. Today, casinos seem to be almost everywhere. Could you list the number of casinos by state and the number in each state that are owned by Native American tribes?

I just read from another poker blog from Lee Jones that effective 12/14 there will not be a hotel or a coffee shop at the Horseshoe Hotel in downtown Las Vegas, but they’re keeping the poker room. It doesn’t make sense to me to eliminate the hotel, but keep the poker room. What will be happening to the hotel?

I will be in Las Vegas the second week of January and would like to visit the pawn shop featured on "Pawn Stars," the TV show on The History Channel. Can you give me the location?

Which casinos do you think will be impacted the most when the CityCenter opens with its 5,000-plus rooms?

The Showtime series "Bullsh!t!" goes off on John Edward in a big way! Yet he works for Harrah's corporation at the Flamingo. Has any real-life conflict happened as a byproduct of this "co-worker" relationship?

I was reading my pilfered copy of Wynn magazine today, and noticed it is a Greenspun publication; a sister to Vegas magazine, among others. This made me wonder how large the circulation of Wynn is and how it compares to Vegas and other specialty Las Vegas magazines?

I’ve got a bet with a friend of mine. I say that the old Silver City Casino was entirely smoke free at one time. I know it’s not there any longer. It was located just a short walk from the Riviera. Help me on this one if you can.

Flying into Vegas for the New Year's weekend. We will not get into town until 9 p.m .on New Year's Eve. Would we be better off to get a cab or rent a car at that time of night on "that night"? Want to get to the Strip ASAP.

Is Little Caesars still in business? Also I heard that the late Bob Stupak took $1 million cash in the place and made a bet on the Super Bowl. Is that true?

I just got barred from playing blackjack at the Mirage with an explanation of, "Your skill level is such that we no longer want your play here". What's the worst that could happen to me if I go back and am caught playing again, or if I were to visit another of their sister casinos and am caught? Is it true they can't bar you from playing in Atlantic City any more?
