WELCOME to Kimo’s Vegas… the Player’s Edge!

IT’S TRUE Paris Hilton’s beau Stavros ruined Kelly Osborne’s 21st birthday party at the Vegas Hard Rock. He started a pillow fight in her room that resulted in larger, heavier stuff being thrown around (and he’s not even a rock star). Wonder if Papa Ozzie was proud? The bill for an old-fashioned evening of hotel room bashing - $100,000. Happy birthday to you ...

THE LEGENDARY Studio 54 has some demos of its own going on as phase one of a two-stage remodeling job is under way that will include a new entry-way and even more lavish VIP rooms. On hand to personally examine the project - MidWeek the Weekend‘s associate editor and part-time building inspector Katie Young, Sheraton Waikiki general manager Ryan Laskey and friends. That’s program director Frankie Anobile showing the gang the new construction. Eh, you guys not foolin’ us ... if you’re working, where are your hard hats?

FOR THE POKER player who has everything ... Harrah’s (who owns the trademark) now has the ultimate poker player accessory ... the World Series of Poker Visa card. Get even more poker action ... the new WPT Season 3 DVD is out and you can win the five DVD boxed set. Enter now at www.KimosVegas.com

IF YOU LOVE pizza like I love burgers, Everybody Loves Pizza is a new book that ranks 546 pizzerias around the country. Five Vegas joints made the book and Metro Pizza is numero uno in Vegas at No. 10.

DID YOU KNOW that the Fremont is celebrating its 50th birthday next year and they’ve got some surprises for us guys in the 50th state?

YES, I WAS joking about the Nevada state bird being the construction crane - it’s really the mountain bluebird.

MISS AMERICA is moving to Vegas ... after 84 years on the Boardwalk, the Miss America pageant has a new home ... the Aladdin Resort & Casino future home of the Planet Hollywood Resort Casino. The 2006 Scholarship competition will air live on CMT (Oceanic Cable channel 587) Jan. 21.

AWHILE BACK we told you that Robert Cavalli designed the new Playboy Bunny costumes for the new Playboy Club in the Palms Fantasy Tower. I’ve got 10 bucks for the first straight guy who can tell me what’s different from the old costume ... and no, it’s not the animal print.

GET MORE Kimo’s Vegas in Wednesday’s MidWeek and with Brickwood Galuteria Friday morning at 7:20 on Hawaiian105 KINE and in Oceanic Cable’s Around Hawaii.
