Las Vegas showcased in Kimo Akane’s Hawaiian TV Show

Kimo Akane’s “Kimo’s Vegas” premiered June 5 and now airs four times per week.

The Aloha State’s love affair with this desert playground is well known, and residents of the Pacific paradise often call Las Vegas Hawaii’s “ninth island” because so many of them visit or move here.

If Kimo Akane’s new television program does well, Las Vegas should soon see even more islanders at its hotels, casinos, restaurants and showrooms.

Akane recently launched “Kimo’s Vegas,” a television program that showcases this city’s personalities and attractions before Hawaiian audiences.

“Kimo’s Vegas” airs exclusively on Oceanic Cable, a Time Warner affiliate with more than 400,000 residential and business subscribers in the Hawaiian Islands.

Dubai Hotel will overtake MGM Grand Hotel as world’s largest.

Of the 20 largest hotels in the world, Las Vegas has 15 on the list. Totaling over 75,600 rooms, Las Vegas’ 15 hotels account for 76.3 percent of those rooms.

Get all the details on the 20 largest hotels in the world.

In a town that thrives on size - just look at our resorts - our civic ego may take a blow in a few years when the world’s largest Dubai hotel in the United Arab Emirates.

For now, Las Vegas is home to the three largest hotels in the world, including Las Vegas MGM Grand Hotel, and seven of the top 10 and, in fact, 15 of the top 20.

But Asia Asia Dubai Hotel, with 6,500 rooms, is expected to be the king of the hill when it opens in Dubai in 2010, knocking MGM Grand Hotel off its current perch.

Dubai’s fantastic, even bizarre developments, including a ski slope in the desert and man-made islands shaped like palm fronds, helped draw some 6 million tourists last year to a tiny desert land that is fast running out of oil.

And on the Strip, there’s the added attraction of all the other large hotels.

World View Plaza Las Vegas furniture mart would rival
World Market Center

Is there room enough in downtown Las Vegas for a second major furniture market?

Las Vegas-based Pierce Development and The Merrill Cos. of Woodland Hills, Calif., have jointly assembled nearly 8 contiguous acres on the south side of Charleston Boulevard just east of Interstate 15.

Their partnership, collectively known as Wall Street Nevada, wants to build a 1 million-square-foot furniture showplace on the southern half of its Las Vegas land. The proposed 13-story tower would complement two high-rise condominium towers recently approved for the site’s northern half of the real estate.

World View Plaza’s combined Las Vegas real estate developments would cost approximately $700 million, Craig Katchen, Pierce Development’s chief executive officer, said this week.

If constructed, World View Plaza would be the first local competitor for World Market Center, a $2 billion furniture showcase located a mile or so north near the I-15-U.S. Highway 95 interchange.

Los Angeles businessmen Jack Kashani and Shawn Samson, in partnership with The Related Cos. of New York, opened World Market Center’s $200 million, 1.3 million-square-foot first phase last July. It hosts biannual furniture shows that draw exhibitors from around the world.

Proponents hope World Market Center will enable Las Vegas to become the nation’s top furniture showplace, a distinction enjoyed for nearly a century by High Point, N.C. Early returns suggest the local market is a hit thanks to its new, centralized campus and this city’s world-class hospitality industry.

World Market Center’s second tower will add 2 million square feet early next year. By 2012, developers plan to build six additional buildings, raising the 57-acre campus’s permanent exhibition space to approximately 12 million square feet.

World Market Center spokeswoman Dana Pretner said Wednesday her project is unlike World View Plaza because World Market Center is a trade-only showroom complex that does not include housing, stores and offices.
