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

AND THE WINNERS ARE ... Hawaii resident Randal Teixeira, who hit the ($1) Wheel of Fortune at the New York, New York for $4,070,743.71!

Hung Huynh, the third-season winner of Top Chef (Bravo). He gets $100,000, a feature in Food & Wine magazine, an appearance at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, and a dream tour of the French Alps.

Anika ... she beat out competitors from Los Angeles, New Mexico, Las Vegas and South Africa to become the third semi-annual Pole-A-Palooza winner. Yep ... she was voted the best pole dancer in all of Sin City at Jet Nightclub. You won’t find her workin’the poles at Vegas gentleman’s clubs because she’s an instructor (legit gig) at Pole Fitness Studios. Her routine won her the $10,000 grand prize plus a $10,000 tip from an exuberant (or should that be inebriated) member of the audience ... that’s a lotta dollar bills.

A SERIES OF L.A. bank robberies were committed by a young man and woman who were nicknamed the “Newlywed Bandits” ... how ironic they were arrested in the wedding capital of the world, Las Vegas.

They include deluxe accommodations (Dec. 29 through Jan. 1), two tickets to Dream - the hotel’s New Year’s Eve special, and a certificate good for two round-trip airline tickets on your next trip.

AT THE GAMING EXPO G2E last week, former U.S. Sen. Alfonse D’Amato (chairman of the Poker Players Alliance) said he believes that the legalization of online poker in the United States will happen in the next 18 months. Wishful thinking ... I guess we’ll all know in a year and a half or so.

The Cupcakery’s holiday dozen features an assortment of specially flavored and decorated premium cupcakes including “Peppermint Bliss,” a chocolate cupcake with hot pink peppermint icing, and “Sugar & Spice Man,” a gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting and a miniature gingerbread man cookie on top. The biggest challenge will be getting them all home uneaten.
