Thanks! I see you are from Hawaii...so, maybe you can explain a Las Vegas mystery to a local.

Why and how did the California Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas became so popular with Hawaiians? Seems like 3/4 of all Hawaiian tourists choose to stay there. I mean, seriously, the place is sort of a dump, and other than some nice little places with Hawaiian food there, why the California Hotel/Casino??

Just wondering as nobody I know here has the answer other than, "gee, that is just where they all go."

(BTW, there is a new Hawaiian Marketplace next to the Alladin on the Strip - I haven't been there yet, but have heard it is pretty authentic.)
