I was watching an episode of "Las Vegas" today, and it looked like the person kneeling next to the dead body could have been Anthony Curtis. Which got me to wondering if he has ever been in any scripted television shows or movies? I know he has been on many reality or documentary shows.

I was watching an episode of "Las Vegas" this morning, and a sub-plot had two characters eating a meal at the blackjack table (while they were playing). I know the El Cortez has dining on the casino floor, but does any other casino allow any type of meals on the gaming floor?

Regarding betting early, if I placed a bet on the WSOP Final Table now—say Antoine Saout at +1717—and then the odds change, would I get paid off at the odds when I placed the bet or when the betting closed?

Is it possible to bet on the outcome of the World Series of Poker final table? If yes, how does it work and who is the favorite?

I was watching the blackjack movie 21, and at one point, during a discussion at a coffee shop, one of the players said "It would be fine to split eights against a five or six, but you don't split them against a ten where you'll end up with two losing hands." I've never seen a basic strategy that didn't advocate splitting 8s against everything, but it's never seemed like a sound move to me. Plus, LVA wrote that this movie is technically sound, at least on the math and card-counting explanations. So what's the reality on splitting 8s against a ten?

So, to continue the questions on the WSOP final table, how many people does the Penn and Teller Theater seat? Will the general public have a chance of getting a seat?

I read a while back that there was going to be a movie about former Las Vegas sheriff Ralph Lamb. Can you tell me if this movie is going to be made. If not are there any books on Ralph Lamb? I am very interested in the history of Las Vegas, but I can never seem to find out much information on Ralph Lamb.

After watching Ocean's Eleven the other night I got to wondering about their "top three casino robberies of all time" ... are they real as protrayed in the movie? Have there been any more recent ones? Have there ever been any successful casino robberies?

I recently saw an obituary for a filmmaker named Ray Dennis Steckler, who lived in Las Vegas. What can you tell me about him?

Years ago, my girlfriend (now wife) and I had our picture taken by a passerby in Las Vegas in front of a sign that read, "Free Aspirin & Tender Sympathy." Where was that sign and is it still there?
