Aloha 'oe, dear colleague.
Mrs. kaukau and I, on the other hand, will happily continue to frequent Las Vegas, in spite of their ubiquitous, but in our opinion, entirely reasonable and non-discriminatory "Locals Only" discounts policy. Same for San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and New York, 4 other cities which offer discounts to "Local Residents Only, with Valid ID" but not to tourists.
Aloha 'oe.
(Do you really think for one second that the resident locals in the Caribbean and Mexico pay the same as the tourists for the same things?)
