Where do Hawaiians go for their getaway experience? They go to Las Vegas, and in big numbers too! One in 10 Hawaiians go to Las Vegas every year. People from Hawaii love to gamble. California Hotel and Casino is famous for drawing people in from Hawaii. Hawaiians find themselves at the Cal, because it’s a hotel with restaurants and service designed to make Hawaiian visitors feel at home. Many Hawaiian high school class reunions are held at the Cal, and the Cal has been the backdrop of many family vacations. Interestingly, Las Vegas has the biggest population of Hawaiians outside of Hawaii. Hawaiians move to Nevada and call it home for many reasons, including its lower cost of living and a service-based economy similar in many ways to Hawaii’s. Many also have a family connection to Las Vegas.
