Now that Scores has shut down, are there any other places in town which offer pole-dance classes to women? I saw a store opposite the Post Office on Industrial, but there was no phone # listed. Any ideas?

After 25 years, the corrugated steel building that my business is located in needs to be painted. It is blue. I have decided the blue on the Welcome to Las Vegas sign frame would be perfect. Does anyone know what shade of blue is used, and am I lucky enough that YESCO or the County has licensed the color to a specific paint maker, so that I could go to the jobber and get some "Welcome to Las Vegas" blue?

Is it possible to bet on the outcome of the World Series of Poker final table? If yes, how does it work and who is the favorite?

Today, we'll tackle two in one: "Your Question of the Day never matches the answer; don't you monitor your site? This has been going on for weeks." And: "What time of the day do you update your website, like Today's News etc.? I was in Vegas in July and was getting up around 6 a.m. and when I logged onto your website, it still showed the previous day's news."

A few years ago at my friend's wedding in Michigan we went across to a casino in Canada and became fixated with playing Sigma Derby, a horse racing game where you wagered on the quinella of 5 plastic horses. The groom and myself are huge fans of horse racing in general, so this was entertaining for hours. In August (11-16) we are coming to Vegas for the bride's 30th birthday and I am hoping to find a Sigma Derby left somewhere in Vegas. The last one I knew was one in the MGM, but I don't know if it's still there or not. Can the LVA help me find Sigma Derby or something similar for this trip with my friends?

How far either in yards or minutes from Las Vegas Boulevard will be the entrance to the casino at the Aria Resort in CityCenter?

While I was in Vegas the week of 7/12, Mermaids and La Bayou were closed. What happened? Will they reopen or are they permanently defunct due to $$$ woes? I sure missed my semi-annual La Bayou Yard!

We will be coming out to Vegas for our twice-yearly vacation in October. After all the comments in David McKee's blog, will the Riviera still be there then? That's our home away from home!

I was watching the blackjack movie 21, and at one point, during a discussion at a coffee shop, one of the players said "It would be fine to split eights against a five or six, but you don't split them against a ten where you'll end up with two losing hands." I've never seen a basic strategy that didn't advocate splitting 8s against everything, but it's never seemed like a sound move to me. Plus, LVA wrote that this movie is technically sound, at least on the math and card-counting explanations. So what's the reality on splitting 8s against a ten?

Whatever happened to the Nevada Supreme Court's expected ruling on the state's clean indoor air act? Arguments were back in April and reports said a ruling was expected within one to three months.
