We have been visiting Las Vegas every year since 1982 and always stay at the Imperial Palace. Only for the last three years were we aware that they had a Medical Center. Since we seem to get sick every time we visit, we have been frequent patients at the center. However, this past May when we visited, we found it is no longer there. Do you know where there are any other casino Medical Centers?

For state tax purposes, what does it take to become a legal resident of Nevada?
