Rod Steward has a gig at The Colosseum Nov. 6-21

WELCOME TO Kimo’s Vegas ... The Player’s Edge!

DO YA THINK I’M SEXY? ... Rod Stewart drops into The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Nov. 6-21. For the first time ever, Stewart will sing all his greatest hits - five decades of music. When asked about the possibility of a Las Vegas residency, he said, “I decided it was time to give it a try, but I thought, ‘first, let’s try two weeks instead of two years, though.’” Preorder the raspy-voiced crooner’s latest album, Fly Me to the Moon ... The Great American Songbook, Volume V, from RodStewart.com and get a special password to preorder tickets for The Colosseum shows.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE SLOTS won four awards from the readers of Casino Player magazine including Favorite Progressive game and Favorite Bonus Round and Favorite Video Slot ... Since we started answering the Wheel of Fortune’s call in 1996, those machines have paid lucky winners more than $2.5 billion in jackpots.

FOR THE RECORD, the same readers voted Megabucks their second-favorite progressive slot machine.
