I will be in Vegas in December for two weeks and I want to know if there are day trips by bus that we can take. I heard that there are some that we can take that will take us across state lines.

What will the Las Vegas Hilton do with the large banner on the building when Barry Manilow moves to the Paris Hotel?

Can we get a Ted Binion update? Is Rick Tabish out of prison? What about Sandy Murphy? After watching the movie, it left a lot of questions.

Battista's was the first restaurant my wife and I ate at on our first trip to LV in the '80s and we always try and go back once each trip. My question is who was/is Battista? He seems to have had his photo taken with every celebrity of the '60s and '70s. He seems to have thought he was quite the athlete.

Do you have an update on the Ultimate Sports Resort being built?

The Nancy Grace in me is wondering what the story is behind the body that was found near the Nevada border town of Primm, last June. He was identified as Carlos Leon-Martinez, 52, a heavy gambler who frequented the Monte Carlo and other casinos in Primm and Las Vegas. What's the story?

Can you compare the Oasis of the Seas, the giant new cruise ship that was just launched, with the giant MGM Grand in Las Vegas?

I remember a while back you guys posted a story about the Jockey Club and how it’s still standing while CityCenter is built around it. I posted a picture up on flickr of the Jockey Club and had a comment pop up... I want to make sure that my explanation was correct, that the reason was due to the Jockey Club having a couple thousand(?) owners? Here’s the actual goings on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mkotich/3971127416/ I’ve put in a couple links for you guys in my response. If you could remind me, or even just reply in-thread, that’d be great.

My wife and I will be in Vegas 11/6 through 11/9 and we noticed that the WSOP final table starts on 11/7. How do we go about getting tickets to view one or more of the sessions while we are there?

The hatchet-job article on Las Vegas in the August 24, 2009 issue of Time did not produce the strong reaction that I expected. Your mayor did counter with a published letter to the editor. Several blogs seemed to believe the actions of Las Vegas real estate agent Brooke Boemio (a friend of the author of the article) are against the law when she tells her customers to stop paying the mortgage on their homes after she has sold them another home. Any comments?
