Crap, I should have gone with Bugsy Siegal. I thought HST would surely be a more popular answer. ---

Interesting how so many people are answering “Bellagio” for Question #7, considering that establishment didn’t open until 1998, while the **original** _Ocean’s Eleven_ was filmed in 1960. (Actual possible correct answers: Sands, Desert Inn, Flamingo, Riviera, Sahara. Of course, I realize that if everyone answered “Holiday Inn” or “Waldorf-Astoria”, points would be duly awarded.) ---

Finally, the years of debauchery and drunken excess have paid off! Just as points of information, I’d like to note that: 1. Flamingo and Bally’s still exist. 2. Excalibur and Aladdin are more than 10 years old. 3. Prostitution is illegal in Clark County. You have to drive to Pahrump to find a cathouse. ---
