Chapter 502 Las Vegas
It will take about five hours to drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. It is already past 3 pm. If you set out now, it will be almost 9 o'clock. Liu Shuquan doesn't want his daughter to run around the road so late. He means that he will spend the night at home and drive during the day. Liu Mei is a little unwilling to spend the night at home, considering the mood of the sisters at home, she doesn't want to spend the night at home.
Liu Jinpeng knew what Liu Mei was worried about, but he still agreed with Liu Shuquan's opinion. He didn't say that driving was not safe at night. It was too late to worry about the family. Liu Shuquan was surprised that Liu Jinpeng would agree with his opinion, but he didn't care about that for the time being, so he would keep his daughter first. Since his father and boyfriend said that, Liu Mei didn't insist anymore, she also wanted to stay alone with Liu Jinpeng for a few more days. Now that she has an excuse, she feels at ease.
The next morning, after having a sumptuous breakfast, Liu Shuquan reluctantly sent his daughter to the door. This time he went to Las Vegas, there were still four people, and Eva Linlin changed the car. Liu Shuquan regretted not insisting on sending someone to follow him, so he secretly started to think about it. He smiled and talked to his daughter, but he was planning in his heart how to prevent his daughter from discovering the protector.
The most convenient way to get from Los Angeles is Interstate 15 from California to Montana, which runs through downtown Las Vegas. You can also take a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Las Vegas McCarland International Airport, but Liu Mei doesn't want to be bothered. Although the plane is fast and convenient, it is not as easy as driving by yourself.
When the journey began, the suburbs of Los Angeles were filled with small hilly areas. Many houses and villas were built scattered. In the United States, most of the rich people like to live in remote or suburbs. Most of the people living in the city are poor, and some cities have been occupied by black people.
One hour after departure, the car entered the Gobi Desert, with endless yellow fields on both sides of the road, and the dry land was sparsely dotted with clumps of gray-green weeds. This scene will last for a long time. Two hours later, the bumblebee arrived at the town of Basto, which did not have many fixed residents in the desert. Most of them rely on passers-by for a living, so the town has shopping stores that exceed their needs.
According to the guide of the travel manual, there are not many restaurants in Basto, so if you don’t plan to visit and shop, you have to keep moving forward. After driving for another half an hour, I arrived at Baker Town. There are several recommended restaurants here, but it’s still early. So I keep moving forward.
From California to Nevada's border, you can see the big sign on the other side from afar, which means welcome to Nevada, and there is a line of small characters below that says: gambling in this state is legal. This is a unique rule of Nevada, otherwise Las Vegas would not have developed from a small village more than a hundred years ago.
As soon as I entered Nevada, there were two or three large casinos in the border town. They were all close to the interstate and the signs were high, for fear that the customers would not know. Liu Mei introduced that the guests who were nervous about it were also busy, so they played a few games here, so the business here was pretty good.
Bumblebee continued to move forward. After passing Gene Town, he saw the road sign in Las Vegas from afar, which was a welcome speech as usual. There was also a hot photo of a dancer next to it. Las Vegas developed from an oasis. It was developed by Mormons at the time. It was very depressed after the gold rush. The Nevada government boldly legalized gambling, which led to the prosperity of Las Vegas today.
Liu Shuquan has arranged the King's Suite at MGM Hotel. This suite is a luxury residence second only to the Emperor's Suite, with a usable area of more than 5,000 square meters. It has 2 constant temperature swimming pools, 2 large 300 square meters bedrooms, a separate balcony with a wide view and many supporting rooms. This suite also has a special bodyguard room, butler's room, and servant room, which can accommodate more than 20 people, which is really a waste for Liu Jinpeng and his party.
After entering Las Vegas, Bumblebee discovered that the once bustling Las Vegas has become much quieter now. Although it is not as miserable as the TV screen, the number of cars and pedestrians on the street is much smaller. What is even more regrettable is that the fountain behind MGM's golden lion is actually closed, which makes people feel devastated and uneasy.
At the entrance of the parking lot, Liu Jinpeng found that there was no service staff here. After calling the consultation phone, someone came to open the door after ten minutes. Because it was a reservation, there was a special person to guide the check-in after parking. Almost no customers were seen in the lobby, and most of the service staff were also frightened. It was obvious that the calm here had not yet recovered.
There are not many people in the casino on the side of the lobby of MGM Hotel now, but there are more people than on the street outside. It seems that gambling is always a placebo that makes people escape reality. After completing the procedures, the beautiful female supervisor took the guests to the room and introduced the various services of the hotel along the way. It was deserted all the way. Liu Mei asked a few questions in English. The female supervisor was also confused about the current situation, but she said that the situation would get better.
Liu Jinpeng was very concerned about whether he could visit the Giant Bear of Machines. The female supervisor was not very clear about this. She had already arrived in St. George and planned to see the limelight. However, the boss asked them to come back to work, saying that the matter was over. Now it seems that it is not so easy to return to the grand occasion of the past and it will take a long time to make up for it.
After the female supervisor guided the guests to see the main room, she introduced some surrounding attractions to Liu Jinpeng, who was visiting for the first time, as well as some precautions when she first arrived in Las Vegas. She also saw that the group of people seemed to be dominated by Chinese people, and also introduced Chinatown in Las Vegas, saying that the food there was rich and cheap, which was worth a try.
After seeing off the enthusiastic supervisor, Liu Jinpeng put the toiletries into the bathroom as usual. The bathroom in the King's suite was divided into two parts. The outside was for facial washing, the inside was for bathing, and the inside was separated by frosted glass. Liu Mei was the only one who was going to sleep with Liu Jinpeng today, throwing her bottles and jars in the bathroom, and deliberately squeezed several of Liu Jinpeng's bottles outside.
After settling down, seeing that the weather is good outside, Liu Mei suggested going to eat something and then looking for a place to play. In this place of Las Vegas, you don’t have to worry about eating or not having to play. If you want to have a serious meal, each hotel has several restaurants to choose from. If you want to have a casual meal or don’t have enough budget, you can consider a buffet.
There is no need to consider so many etiquette or rules when eating in a Las Vegas store, and there is no need to wear formal clothes on purpose. There is 8 such stores in MGM Hotel itself. The only thing to note is that you have to pay an additional 15% tip when paying your bill. Just a few days ago, almost lined up anywhere in Las Vegas, especially at meal time, there are almost long queues in front of all restaurants. It is said that the highest record is to queue for an hour to eat.
But now, Liu Jinpeng and Liu Mei switched a little and found that all the restaurants in the MGM Hotel were empty, with only a few guests eating. Liu Mei liked to join in the fun, but now she didn't want to have a regular meal. Liu Jinpeng was not in a hurry, and she wouldn't have to worry about not having food in Las Vegas.
The two of them came out of the hotel and walked along the street. Lin Lin and Eva followed slowly behind. Diagonally opposite the MGM Hotel is the distinctive Holy Sword Castle Hotel, also known as the Stone Sword Hotel, which is characterized by a castle built in the medieval times. To the south of the MGM Hotel is the Luxor Hotel. The theme of this hotel is ancient Egyptian culture. The sphinx and pyramids at the door look like they are real.
Liu Mei is very interested in the New York New York railroad car opposite MGM Hotel, but she didn't plan to go to play with her hungry days, so she might as well find food first. Walking north along the street, you can see McDonald's shop tricks on the road. Las Vegas can not only make rich people enjoy it, but also make money-stricken people see it. The so-called frugality is the same.
Generally speaking, the lowest-grade rooms in a hotel are about $150 a day, and there are fast foods for a few dollars to choose from. Each casino has free drinks and many free shows to watch. If you really have to be careful, spending more than $1,000 in Las Vegas for a week is at most. Of course, gambling costs are not considered.
After walking along the street for a while, passing by the colorful Hollywood and Alia, I saw the copy of the Eiffel Tower at the Grand Hotel Paris. This copy is half the size of the original, the fifth tallest building in Las Vegas. When I walked to the Grand Hotel Palais, there were still pedestrians here, and Liu Mei came here for the buffet here. In the past, the queues could be more than 500 meters long. Now I can eat it when I go in, so I can still eat it.
Because of the artificial lake and large fountain in front of the door, the Paramount Hotel is also called the Beautiful Lake Hotel. The buffet here is the most diverse and tastes the best. There are quite a few tourists waiting in line every time. However, there are only about 30% of the guests in the buffet restaurant, which is the most common among the restaurants that Liu Jinpeng has seen.
This buffet restaurant covers a large area. In addition to the regular self-selected dishes, there are five live cooking stations to provide fresh selections. There are more than 50 self-selected dishes, including hot and cold meat, vegetables, seafood and local products. Cakes and snacks occupy a full four counters. The five live cooking stations provide Italian, Chinese, Japanese, American and fresh seafood services.
Liu Jinpeng calculated that with his strength, he could probably make a profit, and Liu Mei would definitely lose money. It seemed that Lin Lin and Eva could only make a profit. Under this spirit of guidance, this buffet lasted for 2 hours, and the surrounding guests changed one after another. The table was just to eat and eat. Liu Mei took the gun early, and Liu Jinpeng also chewed the crab legs all the time. Only Lin Lin and Eva were piled with half a person tall plates next to him, which was the result of the waiter's frequent cleaning.
At the end of the meal, Liu Jinpeng found that the waiter who closed the plate and garbage looked at them with a look that was wrong, so he had to give a tip of $10 in disappointment, which comforted the waiter who was extremely surprised. In the end, Lin Lin and Eva got a little tired of eating. It was not that they could taste the taste, but that they were tired of performing the same movements repeatedly. So the group of people finally planned to leave, and the waiter next to him was relieved. (To be continued.
