Do the casinos ever employ "shills" to work the Texas hold 'em tables? I saw a job posting for a "Proposition Player Position" with Cannery Casino Resorts. Is this the same thing as a shill? If not, what’s the difference? What are they hired to do?

Thanks for the graphic description of New Year's Eve in Las Vegas (QoD 12/11/08). Sounds deadly! What do people who actually live in Las Vegas do that night? Go out and party with the crazies? Lay low and come up for air a couple days later? Go to Borneo?

Can you make a living playing video poker? By a living, I mean averaging $200 a day profit. Or are all machine payoffs adusted too low to be profitable?

Regarding the Peppermill Lounge in Las Vegas, the land that it occupies must be worth a brazillion dollars -- that's more than a quadrillion. How can this ultracool retro hang afford to stay there? Who owns it?

Every time I go to the Strip, I see a lot of construction. Could you please update me on what's on, what's off, and completion dates, or are we going to be stuck with this mess ad infinitum?

I have read that the Tropicana is bankrupt and in trouble with regulators in Atlantic City, but I do not know the whole story. Can you give us a summary of the "troubles at the Trop"?

Merry Christmas!

Why do you go on and on with answers for Question of the Day? A simple quick reply would work!! If more wanted, send to message center. Go luck.

You just recently explained the big crowds on New Years Eve. How long do these visitors stay? I am coming in on Jan. 4th and want to know what to expect. Thanks

I’m trying to get a list of games available on your Video Poker for Winners software, but I can’t find a list. Does one exist or can you tell me what it plays?
