wtf, why is it so expensive to fly to Vegas from KC?  Seems racist.  What's your airline mile situation?  Any possibilities?  Usually I shudder at the thought of using miles for a flight to Vegas since it's usually so cheap but when you are looking at $400+ that brings miles into play.

Wife found a deal for 4 nights in Kauai at the Weston with meals and stuff for two for $780 or so nic air.

Never been to Hawaii.  Looking to go for anniversary next summer. 

Is Kauai a good place to start Hawaii'ing at?

kauai is amazing and is very chill.  you'll love it.  The westin is a timeshare on the non-sunny side of the island though.
