What ever happened to the casino La Mirage? It was east of the Strip.

What’s the most frequent asked QoD and do those get answered first?

On April 2, you mentioned that unemployment in Las Vegas was at 10%. How does that translate into number of people? I'm from out of state and was going to apply for a job at the Aria to open in December (whose website lists tons of jobs), but at 10% unemployment, I probably wouldn't have a chance, right?

Will be going to Las Vegas last of 05/09 and was wondering the pros and cons of the airport shuttles vs taxis to mid strip location.What would be the general cost of a cab as to cost of a shuttle..Thanks

Wynn restaurants, including the Terrace Pointe Café and room service, serve the best oatmeal. What's the chance of getting the recipe?

I recently watched a TV program called "City Confidential" concerning the now-defunct Las Vegas company named American Coin. It seems the company was rigging video poker machines and was shut down. I know the machine chip programmer was murdered and the suspect was acquitted and later confessed. What happened to the other two conspirators in the murder investigation? One was named Vito and another was some gal. Also, this whole case stunk of Mafia involvement, especially with the seemingly large number of cover-ups involved to protect the two family owners of American Coin, who it seems were never named as suspects and who had the most to lose in the criminal trial!

I have asked this of several bartenders and never get a conclusive answer. Why do bartenders tear drink-purchase receipts?

Informative question/answer on the term "suckout" in poker (QoD 3/22). But there was no mention of a "bad beat." Would a suckout basically be the same thing?

Have the casinos/manufacturers tightened the hit ratio on video poker? While the pay schedule on top of the machine may be attractive, it seems winning hands occur less often than in the past. Have the machines gotten tighter?
