WELCOME to Kimo’s Vegas… The Players Edge!
 
Aaron Spelling the man who gave us, The Mod Squad, The Rookies, Charlie’s Angels and more died last year leaving his wife Candy “The Manor” their 46,500 sq. ft., 123 room, $47 million abode and an estate worth around $600 million. While staying at the Bellagio, Mrs. Spelling hit the $100 slots (always wondered who played those machines) and won a $100,000 jackpot. She was reportedly up as much as $325,000 and ended up going home with over $200,000… that’s just about enough to pay her electricity bill for a month.
 
Emme Tomimbang said that Vegas has changed a lot since she was there seven years ago… they blow up the hotels faster than they replace the bedding. See wassup with Hawaii pro golfer Dean Wilson and Jean-Marie Josselin the local chef with a restaurant in Caesars Palace. Get a preview of the SOS with Lani Misalucha & Jasmine Trias and find out what local legend is next in line for a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars on “Emme in the New Las Vegas”, premiering June 28th at 9pm on Channel2.
 
To better understand why we do what we do, Alka-Seltzer sponsored a “Guys Will Be Guys” survey and learned that guys like to “Go Vegas” and we like to go with each other. Apparently us boys spend an estimated $10 billion a year on man-cations (men only vacations). So the flop, flop fizz, fizz folks have come with “Living Large in Las Vegas” where you can win first class airfare, all-day limo service, The Real World Suite at the Palms and $2,000 in cash to do some serious male bonding. Get the hookup here.
 
There’s a new male calf at The Mirage Dolphin Habitat. Although it’ll be awhile before the trainers go swimming it, momma and baby can be seen at the Mirage Research and Birthing pool at the Dolphin Habitat.
 
On July 3rd, the Mirage will also host the It’sOnlyRocknRoll.com Beatles auction. Up for sale original memorabilia from the 1964 to 1969 era, including authenticated group and individual autographs, handwritten material, concert posters, awards, clothing and more. A previously unknown concert poster advertising The Beatles appearing at Busch Stadium in St. Louis from ‘66 is expected to bring in over $50,000!
 
Also selling (at a different auction) is a gold plated Walther PPK semi-automatic pistol that Elvis gave to Jack Lord him after his concert here in 1973. The weapon is expected to sell for $20,000 for the story on how they met and images of the gun click here.
 
Did you know that the average age for a graduate with a bachelor's degree at UNLV is 27! They’re not holding students back at the four year university… seems that many college students quit school for the lure of easy money only to have a quarter life crisis and go back to school at age 25.
 
Get more Kimo’s Vegas here online at Around Hawaii, in both issues of MidWeek and with Billy V. Friday morning at 7:20 on Hawaiian105 KINE.
