I was there, and really appreciate this article and especially the PHOTOS. Kats and LEILA NAVIDI did a great job!

I hate this new Sun verification policy, btw.

If you listen very carefully to the KNPR interview online, you can catch all sorts of Koep discrepancies, ignorances, excuses, and double talk.

I was in the museum today (paid $15) and met visitors from Connecticut and Scotland (who took a cab over from Bally's). People from across the country and across the world are still finding their way to the museum on Tropicana and Spencer. I was transported to the time when I, as an out of town tourist, made the same trip, and I wasn't disappointed. Long live the Liberace museum.

I encourage locals to visit as well, of course. Something there will surely fascinate you. Cars, Jewelry, Pianos, Antiques, Music, History, Incredible Costumes, and a wonderful (mostly, some are understandably bitter at their prospects) staff.

I totally disagree with this policy. I am civil in my comments, but really enjoy when people just let loose. Sun, you are totally shooting yourself in the foot here. The entertainment value (and a little thing called free speech) will be completely gone. You already had the power to delete offensive, or off target comments -- so what is the point in this verification process? I won't give you my phone number, sorry . . . and I will be reading your rag online much less.

Have any of you been to Graceland? A small bus takes you across the street to the house, and there is absolutely no disruption of traffic or inconvenience to the neighbors. Are the neighbors afraid of crazed Wayniacs stumbling done their oh so precious Tomiyasu?

You go Wayne!!! I've wanted to see Shenandoah ever since you gave Beverly D'Angelo the Grand Tour in Vegas Vacation.

Well, at least this piece cleared up the bit about the parking lots (was it Marie Callendar's or Tony Roma's?) but the jury is still out on whether Lefty was left or right handed. On his website Rosenthal says he only saw "Casino" once and hated the scene where he juggled on his show -- he never did juggle, and he thought in the movie that made him look foolish -- the blueberry muffin scene is true though.

Gaughan is a good guy for not laying off (if it is true) -- I used to play there when gas was less expensive, and I would frequent the horse shows -- but I couldn't win anything there to save my life. I might go back on principal because he is doing the right thing, but loosening the slots would help. If I go and lose $100 in an hour on my one per line penny machine bets I'm out of there and I probably won't return.
