I have a road trip coming up, has anyone been to Hollywood Columbus? Any good quarter vp? What's that area like? Are the cards connected with St Louis? Does St Louis still have the quarter 9/6 jacks and 8/5 bonus and the 8/5 jacks/bonus that paid 175 for 4oak's that Harrahs had?

A belated reply ...
Turns out I didn't need to wait nearly that long (2021); I scored my first multiline dealt RF today ($1 TP)
It was a banner day -- On top of the $12k jackpot, I netted another $3k in wins (plus my promo cash, to boot)!

Don't sweat the small stuff. The majority of the candidates are Laurie Tsao assuming different identities...

My 2 cents, FWIW
Admin's reasonig (below) is impeccible. Yet, this is the first slate I find to contain several worthy inclusions, yet no stand out one. I may be wrong, but I see the 33% threshold to pose a real challenge this go.
If that proves the case, I strongly recommend a run-off amongst the 6 top votr recipients, keeping the 33% threshold intact.

Liam Daily did more than any other nominee to help me (and probably many others) become better players. Liam Daily's insight and explanation about how to classify three card straight flushes into just four categories (i.e. SF3+1, SF3+0, SF3-1 and SF3-2) is an outstanding contribution to the theory of how to rank vp hands and is a valuable asset for anyone who wants to play perfectly.
Others may have thought of something similar but Liam Daily explained the theory and he (and Bob) publicized it and made it accessible to everyone.

The first posting of the 2012 Hall of Fame election notice didn't
include one nominee in the ballot and has been deleted.
The second posting of the notice contains the correct list of
nominees.

Q: In a recent QoD, you mentioned quirky Vegas memorabilia
living on in other venues. Besides the armadillo disco ball
and the San Remo chandelier, what other items live on? It
might make an interesting side trip on my next visit.
