There is definitely some weird Hawaii / Las Vegas connection going on. I think I heard on NPR that Sam Boyd was from Hawaii and so there have always been special island to casino tour and vacation packages. In any case, you see lots of “Island Girl” bumper stickers on cars and there seem to be an inordinately high number of Hawaiian restaurants here (highly scientific evidence of a large Hawaiian population in Las Vegas).
Maybe that’s why they have a Hawaiian Grocery section at Long’s Drugs. Yep, Long’s Drugs.
Imagine my surprise to find all kinds of Hawaiian goodies in frozen food section next to the frozen fruit juice and ice cream. There’s even a little sign that reads “Hawaiian Grocery”.
