WELCOME to Kimo’s Vegas! This week on Sports Radio 1420AM we talk with Robert Allen, producer/director of The Haunted Vegas Tour and Show.

Then we chat with Jackie Dennis of Lake Las Vegas (where Celine Dion and Oprah Winfry live), and Rachel Stratford from Segway Tours, Thursday at 9 a.m.

KHNL Channel 8 debuts the new season of Las Vegas Sept. 19 ... look for a new sports book,

Internet lounge, lobby, shopping concourse and smaller cocktail outfits. Because many of the women on the show have to wear high heels, they had to install a special rubber floor

REMEMBER Miami Vice? The gang at Atronic have signed a deal with Universal Studios to bring us the Miami Vice penny progressive slot. The machines will premiere at the G2E (Global Gaming Expo) in Vegas next month. Don’t laugh - the show was nominated for 22 awards and won four, including two Golden Globes.

SAM KAPU (who does middays on Hawaiian105 KINE) told me that he’s so unlucky ... if he bought a funeral parlor people would stop dying. I’m taking collections so he can buy Borthwick’s.

WANNA OWN a piece of George Clooney? Well, you can own a piece of his latest development “Las Ramblas” with breathtaking views of the Vegas strip.
