The Man With the Golden Arm, Part I
On May 28th, 1989, a Hawaii man walked up to "Craps Three" and set a record that stands to this day. Stanley Fujitake held the dice for 3 hours and 6 minutes, 118 rolls. On the anniversary month of this historic event almost 19 years later Kimo's Vegas talked with the Sr. VP of the Downtown Region, John Repeti (who was the General Manager) and Casino Manager, Jeff Weiss (who was the Shift Manager) of the California Hotel when the longest roll in craps history happened.

Secrets of the Zig Zag Method Part II
Rated 3.5 Stars
I cannot stress enough that slot machines are required by law to be fair and in Nevada all slot machines must payback at least 75% of all the money they take in. At the big name casinos Downtown and on the Strip the payback percentages are likely to be 92% or better. More »

How to Win In Las Vegas Part II
Did you know that in 2006 the casinos in Nevada won $12.2 billion dollars! Read that again "the casinos in Nevada took in $12,200,000,000 billion dollars"!

How To Win In Vegas
We’ve all heard the jokes, “If you wanna double your money in Vegas, take it out and fold it in half and put in back in your pocket” or “How do you make a small fortune in Vegas, start with a large one!” The irony is that most of us don’t have a large fortune to start with but we’d like to win at least a small one… once in awhile… OK maybe just once.

Vacations Are Supposed to Be Fun!
The best fringe benefit from my job hosting Kimo's Vegas - Las Vegas Radio Talk Show is meeting the people we see on TV or who write the books we read. They have all been gracious to allow me to interview them. What I find most interesting is the contrast in expert opinions. More »

Our Top Ten Favorite Wooden Roller Coasters
Since September of 2003, we've been writing our columns extolling the virtues of roller coasters in America's amusement parks. Being from Hawaii, and with limited vacation time, we planned our trips to experience not only the highest and fastest, but also rides that have been highly rated and/or have historical significance. Many remain on our "to do" list including the famous Coney Island Cyclone and The Boss in St. Louis. More »
