THE CONCOURS d’Elegance Las Vegas Car Competition and Exhibition is happening Oct. 25 on the 18th fairway of the PGA golf resort TPC at the Canyons. It features hundreds of the most-prized collector cars in the world, including pristine examples of pre-war, European, exotic, muscle and custom automobiles. Tickets are $75 in advance and $100 at the door and include food, fine wines and music. Get the hookup at www.KimosVegas.com

KIMO’S VEGAS TIP: The next time you check into the Wynn, call local boy Jay (from the Big Island) at the bell desk. He’ll hook you up with passes to the clubs on premises. Check out the 92-foot waterfall inside “Tryst,” or the newest Vegas nite spot (known for its beautiful patrons) “Blush.”
