...such as the performing dolphins at Taylor Pryor's Sea Life Park at Makapuu Point, draw enthusiastic visitors. But the visitors do not necessarily return to stay at Waikiki. Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. are now moving out to the sleek, discreet $11 million Kahala Hilton on the more exclusive, eastern side of Diamond Head. Even farther away, Chinn Ho has broken ground for a 5,000-acre resort at isolated Makaha, which will be the first to put adequate hotel space close to the superb northern surfing beaches on Oahu...
...sure, no place shows signs of the current expansion more obstreperously than Honolulu's Waikiki Beach. The vast majority of Oahu's 109 resort hotels lies along the graceful crescent that stretches west from Diamond Head. Henry Kaiser's 900-room Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki boasts the best bikini watching in the islands; just beyond it, the ebullient Chinese-Hawaiian multimillionaire Chinn Ho has erected the slender, glassy new $27 million Ilikai, with condominium apartments, shops, offices and a rooftop lounge that draws even the kamaainas (oldtimers) from Honolulu...

A $6,000,000 Hale Kaanapali Hilton condominium will open near by in February, to be followed by a 3,300-room hotel development built by Amfac, Inc., one of Hawaii's great factoring combines...
...your-own drink parties in the London Hilton, the typical tippler has cut his intake from six to four. Already four Mayfair hotels have received cancellations on eight major Christmas celebrations. Christmas buying usually begins in mid-November, but this year it has not begun yet. The nation of shopkeepers grumbles that sales of television sets are down more than one-third from last year, and sales of autos are down more than onequarter.
