Las Vegas casino operators and their current financial state: Part IV.

What's the state, financially, of Las Vegas' major casino companies? Part III

What is the current financial status of all the major casino companies: Part II

You’re always posting whether gambling win was up or down, but what about non-gaming aspects, like total hotel take (including percentage of income from resort fees), etc.? With 130,000 rooms or so, is there a breakdown of total revenue that lists a number like $10 million to $15 million a day in room income, or whatever it may be?

Is there an organization that checks that the casino offerings are legit? I always wonder when they offer a chance to spin and win from five to 1,000,000 points, if there is there even a 1,000,000-points-prize possibility, or if it's actually a pre-determined "scam"?

Driving around town I see a lot of vanity plates (OMGIML8 yesterday prompted this question). Are there any statistics on the percentage of vanity plates here? It seems like there are more here than any place else I've been.

Did I read that there was a class action lawsuit regarding casinos charging resort fees for comped rooms? If so, what gives?

After reading the recent QoD about the "Old Vegas" theme park in Henderson, I wondered what happened to the Vegas Strip reproduction they built for the Vegas TV show with Dennis Quaid a few years ago? I thought it was built out in California somewhere? How bizarre would that be to come across unexpectedly while driving around California!

Are the hallway areas leading to the guest rooms people stay in under taped video surveillance in hotels like the Tropicana? How about the public elevators? (Double checking my info for book I’m ready to publish on Las Vegas. Thanks.)

After a recent successful craps table outing on the Strip I cashed in several large denomination "checks"- often erroneously referred to as "chips." I was wondering how many counterfeiters attempt to defraud the casinos and how many are successful. The checks themselves must be costly to manufacture. Can you tell me more about casino checks?
