Each of the Aloha State's seven inhabited islands offers something a little bit different, from big-city vibe of Honolulu/Waikiki on Oahu to the rustic back country of Molokai and Lanai. Agritourism and Hawaiian cultural tourism are also on the rise.

    Holy Don Ho, say it ain't so -- not Hawaii, too!

    Hawaii may add gambling to its natural beauty
    Mark Niesse, Associated Press

    HONOLULU (AP) -- Hawaii has always been known for its sun, sand and surf. It may soon add another attraction: slots.

    Hawaii is one of the last two states with no legalized gambling, but lawmakers facing billion-dollar budget deficits and hunting for ways increase revenue are thinking about allowing casinos in tourist-filled Waikiki or on Native Hawaiian lands.

    Proponents say casinos would draw much-needed new money and jobs into the long-troubled, tourism-dependent economy.

    Tourists from the mainland would skip Las Vegas to sun on pristine beaches and take a turn at the roulette tables. Coveted high-rollers from Asia could avoid the long trans-Pacific flight, shortening their trip to the slots while also checking out the hula dancing.

    Great deals to Hawaii right now, especially if you book by phone, according to Arthur Frommer.

    This week's Top Tune of the Week hails from the Aloha State, in the form of Oahu-born Rob Yamanoha's cover of the Krush classic "Waialua Sky." (After this week, look for it in our music archive)

    I have been to Hawaii over 20 times - and yes it can be confusing. Which island to go to? Do I cruise or take a land package? That's why you need an expert to sort it all out for you and get you the best value for your travel dollar. I can help you plan the perfect Hawaii trip for a honeymoon, family reunion, group of friends, or just the two of you. I know the ins and outs - - - trust the professionals not just some random internet site.
