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?

What information do you have on something called "Old Vegas" that was on the way from Vegas towards Boulder City? It was on the east side of the highway somewhere around Nevada State Dr. The area now is built up with houses.

Yesterday’s QoD made me wonder, what’s the status of the Liberace mansion? I heard it had been sold to a British millionaire.

What kind of logistics would be required to eliminate automobiles from the Strip and allow only light rail and commercial traffic?

A number of years ago I saw an ad for a mine-your-own-opals mine. I think it was in the Red Rock area. I went there but it was closed. Do you know anything about this and are any other places like this near Las Vegas?

Will personal mobility scooters be allowed on the Strip during the New Year celebrations?

In a recent QoD you used the word "dealertainers." Can you give us a Las Vegas definition, please?

What are those leather things on the wall at South Point?
