In 1999, you published a list of the 21 largest hotels in the world, of which 18 were in Las Vegas. With the opening of Wynn Las Vegas and some of the latest casino expansions, like Mandalay Bay and Bellagio, what’s the new list of Las Vegas’ largest? And have any big hotels been built around the world since then?

Does Mandalay Bay have a restaurant in the penthouse and, if so, what does it cost for dinner?

What is the casino's percentage of the takeout on horse-racing wagers? Since it is a no-risk, guaranteed profit to the casinos, do many casinos offer comps or reward credits to horse bettors?

I know that play and strategy for video poker is different from live poker. What would you suggest to a newbie who has no previous knowledge of either but wants to learn both? Which should you learn first?

What’s the most expensive suite that an individual can rent in Las Vegas?

Which casinos in Las Vegas have single-zero roulette?

What's the latest out at Lake Las Vegas? Can you provide some details about the background of this community -- how big it is, how many houses will there be, what's in store for commercial development, etc.?

Can I cash in my chips at a casino other than the one where I won them, or do I have to cash them in before I leave the original property?

Why is it that Las Vegas hotel pools are never open in the evenings? Is it a law, or a policy, or something else?

I enjoy playing craps whenever I visit Las Vegas. I recently went to a Native American casino in northern San Diego County and discovered they have "card craps." The game is played with 2 decks of 6 cards each that determine your "dice roll." How "random" is this game and is it even worth playing? All table payouts remain the same as in a Vegas craps game.
