Vizcaino????
How do you pronounce Vizcaino? Another one that I have had difficulty with is Maneadero.

The accent should be over the second to last vowel, unless otherwise indicated by an accent mark.

An "r" in the middle of the word gets a slight roll, while an "R" beginning a word is rolled even more. A "rr" gets a real roll. I just learned
that in my spanish class last week. I just wish I could do it.

Vizcaino
Sometimes I've hear it as:
veez-KAI-no
other times:
veez-kai-EEE-no
I prefer the second pronounciation and I think it's the correct one.

The second one is correct but the local people roll right over the "EEE" so you can barely hear it.

I also agree on the second one.
