In the movie Casino and the TV series "Las Vegas," when a customer is on a hot streak, it seems management tries very hard to distract the player by changing dealers, closing the table, or using other methods to cause the player's luck to change. Is this reflective of what actually occurs or is it just TV/movie hype?

Is there any updated information on the new location for the Wet 'n' Wild waterpark?

With all the filming in Las Vegas, how does one get a part as an extra? Can you list the agencies that handle background work?

When a hand is dealt in video poker, are the bottom five cards dealt at the same time? Does it affect the outcome by waiting in holding and drawing? I thought I had read that all ten cards were dealt at once. However, on "Modern Marvels" (History Channel), they said the RNG kept running until the cards were drawn.

My wife and I go to Vegas every six weeks or so and would like to know if there are any cigar/piano bars left. I don't mean a honky-tonk bar, just easy jazz and martinis. The last good one was Hamilton's at New York-New York.

Do the major casinos have first-aid rooms with a nurse (or doctor) on duty?

So, we’ve had a survey for the "must-see-attraction" in Las Vegas; how about a "must-eat?"

I was wondering what is the worth of the gold nugget in the Golden Nugget hotel? And what is the history of that gold nugget (i.e., who found it, where was it found, when was it found, etc.)

2006 is the 75th anniversary of legalized gambling in Nevada. It would be cool if you could explain how Nevada happened to go into the gambling business back in 1931.

Could you please list the casinos that have closed since January 1, 2004, and that will be closing this year?
