In a recent Question of the Day you mentioned several movies that had movie scenes shot at the Plaza Hotel. One mentioned was the movie Casino (one of my all-time favorites!), with Robert DeNiro and Sharon Stone. I know that the opening scene of the movie takes place in the parking lot of Main Street Station. Are there any other casinos in town that were part of this movie?

Back in the mid-'70s I remember watching a game show called "Dealer's Choice." The show consisted of three contestants betting on various games of chance including a version of Blackjack. Whichever contestant had the most 'chips' at the end got to go on to the Bonus Dice round where they could win a nice prize such as a car or an exotic vacation. I also seem to remember the show originated from The Tropicana and was filmed there. Can you dig up any more info or trivia on "Dealer's Choice"?

I recently saw an old James Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever. In the movie, Willard Whyte is held captive in a house overlooking the Las Vegas valley. It was a concrete and glass structure with a pool. What is the history of this house and is it still around?

While watching "Pawn Stars" tonight I saw a Las Vegas open-top sightseeing bus. Are they crowded? I wouldn't want to ride it if I couldn't be on top.
