Now that the MGM resorts have implemented their new parking and valet fees, did the salary structure for the valets themselves also change? I was under the impression a big portion of their income was based on tips -- has that now changed? And if so, what should be the appropriate level of tipping when using the valet services at the MGM resorts?

If resort fees are such a taboo subject and create such anger, why don't some casinos just raise the rate and advertise "no resort fees"?

How do casinos ever fail? Part II.

As a customer who has lost money on every visit to Las Vegas, I wonder: How do casinos fail?

Is there any chance of a timeshare condo or extended stay hotel taking the place of the recently closed downtown properties on Fremont Street?

Has anyone purchased the Las Vegas Country Club golf course yet?

After seeing recently that Monte Carlo is being remodeled, I was wondering if this is a complete remodel of both hotel and casino and when the estimated completion date will be? I have a trip to Vegas planned for November.

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!
