The Ultimate Sports Resort is a $4 billion tribute to sports
HERE WE are - Super Bowl weekend! Over the years watching the commercials in the game has become almost as important as watching the game itself. The commercials are so popular that now you can wager on them and the game. The odds are based on what commercial will be voted the favorite in the Ad Meter poll. Anheuser-Busch is the favorite at 1/2 odds (bet $100 to win $50), Burger King (is it just me, or is the king kinda perverted looking?) is next at 9/2, Pepsi is 8/1, Career Builder 10/1, FedEx 12/1, Emerald Nuts and Subway 15/1.
ULTIMATE Sports Resort is a sports-themed mega-resort whose goal is to be one-of-a-kind. The $4 billion tribute to all things athletic will be built on 116 acres near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and include indoor batting cages, a climate-controlled golf driving range, rock climbing, an ice rink, bowling alleys, billiards, a world class spa, 10 sports arenas, 500 condos, 5,500 rooms, 17,000 parking stalls, and a 150,000 square-foot casino.

KIMO’S Vegas Tip: The only time it’s a good bet to have the taxi take the “Tunnel” from the airport is if you going auntie’s house, the Mandalay Bay, Luxor or the Silverton. The “Tunnel” will add 4 to 7 bucks to the fare ... cabbies like to say the “Tunnel” saves time, but it actually adds a few minutes to the trip. Get more Vegas tips at www.KimosVegas.com
