Do you know if we have had one or both of the doses of the COVID vaccine, if we still need to present a negative COVID test?
Thanks for the updates
Aloha! Do you have any indication as to how the state of Hawaii is reacting to visitors who have already taken the vaccine? Do they still pretest? What if the test results in a false positive because of having just taken the vaccine? My family is coming in January, but has the opportunity to get the vaccine now. Do you know where I can go to get updated information to help them decide whether to take vaccine now, or wait until after the NAAT test and the trip?
I feel (although Hawaii is a state and not a principality) for the sake of it’s citizens should look at what Monaco did to bring in income. Not only did they lower taxes, they also brought in gaming, for those of you who would be worried about it bankrupting it’s own citizens not so fast, Monaco does not allow its residents to enter a casino to gamble. Due to this out of the box thinking this Very small principality has become very rich. Hawaii needs to stop over taxing it’s residents and look at more ways to bring in people that want to park their money here while still making sure the residents are safe. It sounds tricky but it has been done. Let’s stop hiring government officials that only take care of themselves and their friends and look to those who want to make Big changes so that we can keep Hawaii in the Hawaiian Aloha way.
Boring! Who would go to this beautiful place with all the wonderful outside activities and sit inside and empty their pockets. Crime is a big factor around casinos so there will be a big strain to local police and 911 services. Just another addiction to have to beat. Recreational cannabis would be a better return on investment and a huge tax revenue stream. Locals and visitor could enjoy sun grown products and not have to bother with indoor grows that take too much energy. Pakalolo smokers are pretty chill don’t create crime, and regardless of what people think, it’s not addictive, just profitable.
Aloha,

I thought this land was to be used to build affordable housing for the Hawaiian people and give back there land
If they can’t afford to build them houses how are they affording to build a casino
Makes no sense to me …I say put the people of Hawaii first…after all thats what they promised the people housing affordable. Mahalo
i am not in favor of big place to gamble in Hawaii. I fear that it would change the mood also which island would get it and would other islands want it…no anger please
Aloha Guys
Gaming is tourism, in LV Nevada several casinos have closed down. There are also nasty things connected to gaming, it’s not a perfect out.
I lived in the mountains of New Mexico where horse racing, slots, and games of skill were played. Like Hawaii they are dependent to a large extent on tourism. I really think it would add a lot of excitement and some good paying jobs for residents. I have a relative who services slot machines and makes very good money. Give it go – set up all your prototype locations and then establish your regulations and work through the issues.
