James Bond is a famous gambler and we almost always know what game he's playing. But in the 1974 movie, The Man With The Golden Gun, bond is playing in a Macao casino. He is sitting at a large table -- sort of like a craps table -- and people make bets and then other people, sitting up above out of sight, lower a little basket on a string and the people playing either put money in the basket or take money out. The little basket then goes back up and they play again. Any idea what game they were playing? It looked very festive and had many players -- 10 sitting downstairs, another 8-10 sitting upstairs. Thank you very much.

Here’s one that I can't get the answer to, not even from the casinos. Comp points are lower for video poker than for slots, but what if you play the other games in the video machines? Video blackjack is available in most of the multi-game machines. How would that be comped, as a slot machine or as a video poker machine? Good luck getting an answer, I’ve tried.

Whatever became of the Flamingo Reno? I spent one night there in 1991, on a road trip from California to the Midwest; it was the first time I played Video Poker! My room tab was $29 (no resort fee!).

All the news articles about the new game show Monopoly Millionaires Club has it taking place in Vegas but no location is ever mentioned. Just coming back from Vegas we never heard anything about it either. Can you find out where it was taped?

There is a Mazda car commercial (featuring Penn & Teller) that closes with one of their vehicles being driven down Fremont Street at night. Clearly, the street is shut down for normal business as no tourists or vendor kiosks are visible. What does it cost a company to "rent out" a block or two of Fremont to make such a commercial?

I read that the LVCVA is launching more ads based around "What Happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". How long has that slogan been around – and can any one person claim credit for it?

Further to Monday 17 Nov. QOD....can you give details of what exactly was wrong..."It will stick out like a sore thumb to those readers very familiar with this city--the only ones for whom the famous-name specifics will resonate in the first place--if you make an obvious mistake in geography, as Casino, Diamonds are Forever and, most notoriously, Con-Air all did, resulting in varying amounts of egg on various faces"?

I’ll be in Las Vegas on the days the WSOP final table is being held. How does one go about gaining entry into the Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio to watch the game live?

Just read about the Peppermill temporary closing, hope the "temporary" is true and the remodel is more functional than aesthetic, yes??
