Staying covered at all times

It's hot in Las Vegas, and the air is dry. Sure, it's comfortable in the luxurious Tropicana Resort and Casino, but if you venture out with a lot skin exposed, the sun and wind can be rough.

That's why the beauties of Hawaiian Tropic always go out well covered. Yes, they're wearing their favorite suncare product, and they wear it well.

Of course, these women have to wear something else as well, but they don't overdo it. That's why the Miss Hawaiian Tropic United States Pageant, which was held in mid-September 1999, was such a popular event. And, as we've said before, the welcome of the Hawaiian Tropic staff is as warm as a day on the equator.

Behold these well-covered women:
