I have noticed recently that you are reporting information, with a drop-down heading, for Gay and Lesbians. Are there that many in our society that this has to be listed too?

I just got myself my first iPod and I went to iTunes but there seem to be a lot of Vegas-related podcasts. Which ones do you recommend?

I was shocked to discover today that according to county records, the Diamond Inn Motel (the motel with the pink elephant out front) was built in 1940! That has to make it the oldest structure standing on Las Vegas Boulevard, right?

Bill Zender responds to the July 22 QoD on time and motion.

Having read in the forums both positive and negative about casino hosts, I'm interested in knowing more about them: what's their typical workday like, how do they make their money, and why does it seem like so many move from casino to casino?

Do you think Las Vegas has a track in its future? I know I'd spend some time and money there on each visit to the city if they had one. Or maybe there is one I don't know about? Betting and watching the races in a sports book is fine, but it's not the same experience as going out for a day or night at the track and watching, hearing, and smelling the horse races in person. Seems like a natural. Any chance? If not, why?

In the blog "Stiffs & Georges" it talked about market caps for Wynn and MGM. What does this mean and what does it mean by saying Wynn could turn the tables on Kirk Kerkorian?

I enjoy watching the Olympics and was wondering if any of the sports books in town will take bets on any of the events. If so, which will they be and when do they start? I went to several books recently and the folks working at the counters didn't know.

During the movie about Johnny Cash, Walk The Line, I noticed one segment where they showed John and his wife-to-be, June Carter, playing in Vegas at a place called the Mint. Does the place still exist or was this more movie "liberty?"

What happens to the coins that visitors throw into the fountains and reflecting pools at Las Vegas casinos?
