KIMO’S VEGAS SHOW TIP: Only in Vegas can you get $10 in cash (or free tickets to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum) just for watching TV.

All you have to do is watch a TV pilot and tell them what you thought of the show.

BLONDE MOMENT ...Pamela Anderson has reportedly turned down a $10 million deal to pose for a 40-foot sign. The Vegas club Burning Bush wanted the newlywed to straddle a car wash on their outdoor signage. However, the ex-center-fold believed it would be harmful to her, ah, reputation ...
UNTIL NOW, the Wynn Las Vegas has been the city’s only 5 Star (Mobil), 5 Diamond (AAA) hotel, but that’ll change Nov. 9 when AAA announces its 5 Diamond award winners for 2008. Getting its fifth diamond for the first time will be arch-rival hotel The Venetian.

EVERYONE KNOWS the slogan “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas,” but the mantra at the Palms is a little more CIA: “What Happens at the Palms ... Never Happened”!
