WELCOME TO Kimo’s Vegas ... The Player’s Edge!
NARY A BLOW nor verbal jab has been thrown, but the fight to host the March 13 Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. match is heating up.

In Dallas, Jerry Jones has reportedly offered $25 million to host the match in his new Cowboys Stadium, but Mayweather’s agent cancelled a planned visit there.
The Las Vegas Review Journal has two great videos online: The first is a preview of Cirque du Soleil’s seventh Las Vegas production show, Viva Elvis, at the Aria Theater. My other fave is a time-lapse of CityCenter from the ground up in two minutes. Get the links for the videos at http://www.KimosVegas.com. There’s a lotta of hype about the Strip’s newest resident, and it’s worth every penny of the $8.5 billion spent.

LIKE A SCENE from a movie ... The armed man approached the armored truck and quickly left with four bags of money. Initial reports said the robber got away with $1 million ... they were really BIG bags. Later, officials revised the estimated take to about $36,000 ... OK, so they weren’t so big after all.
AT THE EXCALIBUR ... no need ask the slot attendant for a hot machine. Just look for the sign that says “Certified Top 40 Hot Slots.” To qualify for the “Hot Slot” designation the machine has to be one of the casinos 40 most generous the week before.
