Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm being watched from the catwalks above me when I'm gambling. What can you tell me about how often the eyes above are actually paying any attention and what areas do they watch the most. It seems to me they would be more interested in the table games where cheating is more possible.

I hear there's a new sex museum in Las Vegas, like the one in New York. When did it open, where is it, and what is displayed? And is it free?

Since trivia is so popular do any of the clubs around town have trivia clubs?

I'm intrigued by a recent QofD that involved an Amtrak (Chicago) to Kingman, Ariz., trip and then on to Laughlin and Vegas by bus. Sounds like a lot of fun. Any idea how much it would cost and how long it would take? The airline fares are killing us folks these days!

Loved reading Deke's QOD response on 12/18/06 regarding the state of online gambling at that time. Given the dramatic political changes happening in Washington, do you have any comments or expectations regarding potential modifications to those laws over the next few years? My specific interests are regarding sports betting, but there are probably more people interested in this answer as it relates to online poker.

I'm nuts for all things basketball, so I was a bit surprised to hear that when Nevada finally got an NBA-affiliated basketball team, it wound up in Reno and not Las Vegas. Why did the D-League team go to Reno and what else can you tell us about the Reno Bighorns?

About the November 29th question on Georges and stiffs. In the update, Arnie Rothstein made a statement that "the ways and means of chasing off a stiff are both cruel and hilarious." Can we get some examples?

Just got back from LV over the Thanksgiving Day weekend. I will not mention the hotel but the view would have been exceptional if the windows had not been really dirty. How often do the Strip hotels wash their hotel-room windows? I know it will vary depending on the size of the hotel, but how much does it cost per hotel to wash the windows? How long does it take? How many windows are in some of the hotels?

Is there a feud between Bally's properties and the Las Vegas newspapers? They seem to be unavailable to Bally's, Paris, etc.

I have been to Las Vegas many times, but will be there on New Year's Eve for the first time this year. What can I expect?
