A zip line-style "thrill ride" that will span the two towers at the Rio has been announced. The "Voodoo Skyline" ride will start from the casino’s 50-story Masquerade Tower and run 845 feet at speeds of up to 33 mph to the 20-story Ipanema Tower. Riders will then be transported (backward) to the starting spot via a motorized pulley. The entire experience will take just more than a minute, and tickets are expected to be $25-$40.

Zip lines, which transport riders via a harness attached to a long cable, are also in place downtown and outside Las Vegas at Bootleg Canyon. The downtown zip will soon relaunch as "Slotzilla."

Question: What is the name of the second Internet poker site that just opened?

Answer: As of now there’s still only one legal site. The confusion stems from a site in development from the World Series of Poker accidentally going live for a brief period last week. Varying reports say that from two to seven players were able to play. The glitch that allowed entry was quickly repaired.
