It's doubtless illegal to leave Hawaii without saying "Aloha" at least 200 times or hearing Don Ho sing "Tiny Bubbles."  It's sad that Gabby Pahiinui's no longer here.  His 12-string guitar licks and falsetto were as unforgettable as J. Aku Head Papoli or Primo Beer.

However, Don Ho's show at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel remains the bedrock entertainment value in Hawaii. It starts slowly, but as his voice makes love to the audience builds interest and excitement for nearly two hours, and its has done so for years. Shows run Sunday through Thursday with cocktails and dinner seating. (808-923-3981) He rarely leaves Hawaii so you've got to see it here.

The Society of Seven has combined song, dance, impressions, and non-stop entertainment in the Outrigger Waikiki Hotel or well over 25 years and their seamless show is also top entertainment. (808-923-7467). They run Monday through Saturday.

The rest of the long-term shows aren't bad. Yes! Is a sort of Circe de Soliel at the Outrigger Reef, and Frank Delima's what you'd get if you made Rodney Dangerfield Hawaiian. The show's best if you understand pigin, aren't offended by ethnic humor and sit way in the back.  Locals love this, but sit in the back at the Hula Hut if you've thin skin. There's a nice magic show, Magic of Polynesia at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel with a lot of interesting slight-of-hand and decent hula island music instead of big production tricks.
