While staying at the LVH we found a production sheet for Michael Douglas' HBO Liberace movie Behind the Candelabra. Know any more about this?

I don't like resort fees, but it seems like the hotels get you one way or the other. For example, if you stay at LVH, there's no resort fee (yay!), but they charge for internet access and use of the fitness room. In the end, I would end up paying at least as much as the resort fee at many other resorts. So...which is better?

In a recent QoD, you mentioned quirky Vegas memorabilia living on in other venues. Besides the armadillo disco ball and the San Remo chandelier, what other items live on? It might make an interesting side trip on my next visit.

Do old casino players cards from gone-but-not-forgotten casinos such as Desert Inn, Stardust, and Sahara have any monetary value for sale to collectors?

Is it true that construction has restarted at the new Bloomingdale's mall in Summerlin? If so, how big is that mall and when will it be opened?

What ever happened to Manhattan West?

Amidst all the abandoned projects around town, are there any signs of life in the Las Vegas construction industry? Any new projects in the pipeline?

Any updates on the proposed Phoenix-to-Vegas interstate that has been proposed in the past? It could really help with our drive to Vegas!

I only go to Vegas during the NFR. Have been the last 15 years. Reading your recent QoD about the contract, I was curious if anyone knows the actual economic value of the rodeo for Vegas? There are limited seats at the Thomas & Mack, and it seems most people just stay at casinos and watch the video feed, although there are black hats all over the city and the casinos are fun (lots of loud polite people!)

Our annual family-and-friends trip to Las Vegas takes places in December and we often overlap with the cowboys (yee-haa!). More than a year ago, I read that the NFR contract with Las Vegas was close to expiring and that Cowboy Stadium people in Dallas were working to entice the NFR to move their annual event to Dallas. What’s the latest with these negotiations? I hope the NFR maintains its relationship with Las Vegas. How can anyplace else be taken seriously over Las Vegas?
