description: Where the warm ocean waters lap the smooth white sand ... where the sun rises over the beautiful ocean ... spend your days lying on the warm sand sipping mai tais ...Honolulu has sometimes been referred to as the Rodeo Drive of the Pacific since most major designers have shops either in Waikiki along Kalakaua Avenue in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center or in the Ala Moana Shopping Center once the largest shopping mall in the US still the largest shopping mall in Hawaii. However there are many local less expensive alternatives to be found in both Waikiki and other local shopping malls and in the small towns around the island. Nightlife can be as simple as sitting on the grass near the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center or on the beach in Waikiki listening to the free entertainment while you watch the local ladies practice their hula or as involved as traipsing almost half way around the island to the Polynesian Cultural Center to enjoy their luau and Polynesian entertainment provided by students at Brigham Young University. Most nightclubs are open late and you can find karaoke bars Irish pubs hip hop dancing or quiet ukuleles strumming.
