I read in an earlier "Question of the Day" that Orson Welles lived in Las Vegas. What more can you tell me about that?

I subscribed to What's On magazine back on March 3, 2009. I have received only one magazine in seven weeks. When I call them, they always promise me they'll send the next issue to me the next day, but I never receive them. My question is, are they going under due to the economy?

This one is for Jean Scott. Regarding the decrease in comps and casinos refiguring their comp policies, I noticed that Harrah's Total Rewards players club has shortened their point expiration period to 6 months from the date of last play. All the rest of the clubs at other casinos (at least in Nevada) use 12 months or longer. Is this a recent change and what is the response out there from other players?

I have asked this question a couple of times and cannot get an answer from LVA. My wife and I play blackjack at several different places. When we have the opportunity to double down, we find that many casinos give us the card face down, but others do not. Can you explain this variation of conduct?

What is the oldest Strip hotel-casino that still exists? I know that none of the original Flamingo is still around. I've heard that part of downtown's El Cortez is from the original 1941 building.

Is there any such thing as a map or a guide to the "homes of the stars" for Las Vegas?

I’ve seen the big neon cowboy downtown, I think he’s called Vegas Vic? Is it true that there are other versions of him elsewhere in state? I’ve heard of a Laughlin Larry.

What do casinos do to "clean" the chips used at their table games? The issue of disinfection/sanitization of these multi-handled items has to be of interest to many people. What's the scoop -- or are you afraid to annoy your casino friends if admitting they do nothing about germ-laden chips?

I live in Hawaii and like many folks here love to go to Vegas to eat and to gamble. I am writing because my friend just told me our state Legislature just passed a law so that they are going to tax me now on anything I win when I gamble – even if I lose overall! Do you know about this and can you explain?

I’ve seen a few references to Claudine Williams recently passing away. They say she was a gambling pioneer in Las Vegas. I’m sure I’m wrong, but I thought she was a French torch singer married to Andy Williams. Who was Claudine Williams and what did she have to do with Las Vegas?
