I read Colton Lochead’s Wednesday Caesars Palace article with much disappointment and sadness. Nowhere was there mention of Stanley Mallin, Jay Sarno’s partner. Although Mr. Sarno was the visionary, he and Mr. Mallin were partners in the 1966 development of this iconic hotel and casino, as well as Circus Circus.

Mr. Mallin and Mr. Sarno traveled together through Italy, researching statues and marble to create this hotel. Stan is now 98 years old and the last of the gaming pioneers in our great city. He was inducted into the Gaming Hall of Fame in 2019.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way
Martha Olson Las Vegas

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Bill Minarik Las Vegas

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
