I recently read in David McKee's blog that Jersey Boys is closing at Paris after eight years. That got me to thinking about what shows were big 20 years ago, when I first started visiting Las Vegas, like Siegfried & Roy. My question is: How many shows actually last for more that 10 years? And what are the longest-running shows in Las Vegas?

The history and future of Las Vegas' convention facilities and event areas, Part II.

Is the concert and convention "pie" big enough for everybody? Certainly some off-Strip venues, like Boyd Arena and UNLV will suffer. Rodeos are now moving to T-Mobile next month. This latest proposal from Sands is for a 17,500-capacity concert hall? And there are new proposals from Wynn? Good grief!

You recently wrote that property taxes are being paid on the stagnant Fountainebleu. Since Carl Icahn purchased the property in 2010 and he's trying to sell it, how much has he paid so far in property taxes?

Regarding the sale of the Palms from TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners 49 percent each to Red Rock Resorts: Is the Maloofs’ two percent included in the sale?

While in Las Vegas last week, we learned that Boyd Gaming bought the Cannery and Easteide Cannery, and the Station Casinos bought the Palms. Since MGM owns much of the Strip, which casinos remain independent still?

I just read that all the McDonald’s at all MGM properties are closing this week. A quick check of a few of MGM's websites show no trace of a McDonald’s. Is this true? Was MGM the franchisee or was it a third party?

We pick up where we left off yesterday, with a foray into the implications, for employees and the workplace, of the legalization in Nevada of medicinal- and, perhaps soon, recreational-marijuana use.

How does medical marijuana affect drug tests for employment and health cards and the like, and what about if recreational marijuana becomes a reality in Nevada, since evidence of usage stays in the bloodstream longer than alcohol?

I have noticed on every major event, the High Roller lights up a different color. How many colors is The Wheel capable of displaying?
