WELCOME TO Kimo’s Vegas ... The Player’s Edge!
THE AWARD for the most-photographed and envied man in the last week could go to Joe Cada. The 21-year-old is the youngest person to win a World Series of Poker Main Event, and the $8.55 million in prize money didn’t hurt his popularity with the ladies either.
THE BETTING LINE on Manny Pacquiao was -350/+270 before the match on Saturday. That means a $350 bet on the Pac-Man would win you $100 while a $100 bet on Puerto Rico’s champion would have won $270. Comedian George Lopez had the best line, saying, “Manny Pacquiao’s nickname is ‘The Mexicutioner.’ He’s beaten more Latinos than the police!”
AT MANDALAY BAY, check out the new Fight Museum for memorabilia, supplements, energy drinks and fashionable fight attire inspired by MMA ... You know, da kine da fighters wear.

BETTE MIDLER says aloha to Las Vegas ... She’s got 18 more dates including her last on Jan. 31. The Divine One says “the showgirl must go off” so she can finish an upcoming album ... Seems like it was only yesterday when she signed a two-year deal with Caesars.

AND THE WINNERS ARE ... The Venetian and the Palazzo were recognized for exceeding guest expectations, providing meticulous service and maintaining impeccable standards of excellence with a AAA Five Diamond Award for 2010 - no easy task when you’re working with a total of 7,100 rooms.
AND THE BELLAGIO got its Five Diamond for the ninth year in a row. It’s also the only hotel in America with two Five Diamond restaurants, Picasso and Le Cirque.
50! THAT’S HOW many meatballs Joey Chestnut ate to win the first-ever Martorano’s Masters Meatball Eating Championship. That’s sixand-a-quarter pounds of meat, and one more than Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti ate. First-place prize money was $1,500 - not bad for 10 minutes’ work.
THE NOVEMBER issue of Esquire magazine says one of the best new restaurants in America is Society Café in the Encore, where the “Triple B” menu stands for burgers, barbecue and beers.
NOW THROUGH Jan. 6, journey to the North Pole on The Polar Express 4-D experience at the Excalibur.
