I thought it was heartwarming to see our Kupuna having another venue of enjoying themselves.  However, in my opinion, rates are a bit extreme and hope there may be less costly options for the Kupuna's and Kamaainas.  I remember a few times where the downturn of inbound visitors prompted a reach out to Kamaainas...a group that should not be neglected while business is on an uptick. Aside from the aforementioned, using miles for interisland and getting some reasonal room rates on neighbor island (i.e. Big Island).  A;sp many of our Kupuna use the Las Vegas as a sort of "staycation".  A 5 night package would end up costing $200 a night (with meals) and your option of gambling (you don't need to gamble) or shopping (use the local bus system to get around...check this out my wife enjoyed doing this!).
