In the early '80s the Jockey Club had an excellent bar and a small but very good menu. They built a small casino but it never opened. I know it was a timeshare deal. What's the story behind this whole thing?

You see visitors buying and carrying bottled water. This can become very expensive and -– with not being able to bring a bottle of water through security at McCarran Airport -– big bucks here. Is the bottled water we pay so dearly for just tap water? Is the tap water in Las Vegas good, just OK, or bad?

We hear about the mega millions and even billons of dollars to construct new casinos in Las Vegas. What does it cost to implode and remove one of these giants?

We will be traveling to Las Vegas next month. Are there any Web sites that tell you what the current jackpots are for various slot machines?

Where can we find the best corned beef sandwich in Las Vegas?

In your answer to the question on 2/18/08 about the procedures for dealers in the event of a fire or blackout, your source claims that dealers are instructed to sweep up all the bets on the layouts, then surveillance will do a tape review "to verify what belongs to whom." That seems highly unworkable to me. I mean, how long would it take surveillance to review the bets of hundreds of table-game players? And how would they know who everyone was? Would everyone have to come back to the tables and sit exactly where they were in order to be identified? Are the dealers, floor people, or security supposed to take names and numbers during the evacuation? Wouldn't it be a nightmare? Isn't it easier just to have everyone take back their bets and call it a dead hand? Or is the casino so greedy that they grab the money ("for your own protection, of course!") and hope that people won't bother with their last bets?

Is something new happening in Reno? I heard about something called The Legends at the Sparks Marina. What is it exactly? And what’s the Sparks Marina?

South of the Tropicana on the Strip was a funky motel called the Glass Pool Inn or something like that, and it had a little swimming pool with windows in the side. We loved driving by just to look at it, even when the motel was closed. Then it was gone! Do you have a history and I'd love to see a photo. Thank you. Love QOD!

I heard last summer that the Trump was due to open in February or March. Can you update everyone, please?

In your recent answer about Caesars and DI being bought by ITT in 1995, when and for how much did Steve Wynn pay for the DI?
