Chapter 14: The Horse Stumbles (1)

After winning more than 100,000 dollars in a fierce battle in the Venetian casino, Wuwei prepared to take a truce for a few days to adjust his state, recharge his energy and then gamble, and the exhaustion of fighting is a taboo in gambling. Besides, it has been three or four days since I came to the casino, and I have not visited the scenery of the casino.

Since coming to Las Vegas, Wuwei has put all his energy into hard work, and now that he has money in his pocket, he can finally relax his tense nerves. He is going to play for a few days, visit Las Vegas, choose a suitable casino by the way, and after adjusting his condition, he will use the 100,000 yuan to fight the casino.

Wuwei has always dreamed of taking a big gamble. He feels that life is like gambling, as long as he has the opportunity, he will give it a go, no matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he fights, he will not regret it, at least he will leave endless memories for himself. If you don't dare to fight once in life, then you will definitely leave infinite regrets when you are old.

Gambling is a way of life for people like Wuwei, gambling allows him to understand the world from another perspective, understand the wonderfulness of life, and also understand more deeply the meaning of victory and defeat, the helplessness of life and the changes of the world.

Swimming in Las Vegas feels like entering a fairy tale world, which is more like a toy city, with hotels of different shapes and styles, scattered all over the desert, looking like toy building blocks built in childhood.

Wuwei browsed the big toys in front of him and suddenly realized that the building blocks of his childhood satisfied his childhood fantasies, allowing him to freely play and combine them as he wanted, and he could build it into a beautiful palace, while Las Vegas is now a dream city, which can satisfy all his dreams now and bring him endless surprises and hopes.

Being in the dream city, Wu Wei noticed that his desires would swell from time to time, and the blood would unconsciously speed up, and his spirit would be excited and high-pitched, as if he had smoked opium. This feeling, which cannot be experienced anywhere else, is perhaps invaluable to many people who have lost their passion and vitality in their mediocre lives.

Las Vegas is dazzlingly beautiful and breathtakingly extravagant, and God seems to have condensed the world's lascivious extravagance here. Since Caesars Palace became the city's first themed casino hotel, twenty of the world's top 30 super hotels have been in Las Vegas, and seven of the top 10 super hotels in the world have been in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas hotel has two characteristics: first, it is a combination of a hotel and a casino, and the two are organically integrated. Second, the shape of the hotel is similar to the shape of the word "person", I don't know whether such a structure in architecture can ensure the maximum construction area, or as some gamblers speculate, it is to cover the people who come to gamble. Each hotel in Las Vegas is a unique sight, and any one hotel can be enjoyed for more than a day.

After three days of playing without pleasure, I just looked at my favorite places, and every hotel seemed to be a maze, and it was easy to get dizzy in it, and I couldn't tell the difference between the east and west, the opera house, the cinema, the restaurant, the bowling alley, the shop, the swimming pool, the beauty salon, the gallery, ...... It's literally everything.

After seeing more than a dozen big casinos, Wu Wei finally chose Bellagio as a place for himself to give it a go, and on his first night in the casino, he was most impressed by the grandeur of the Bellagio Hotel.

In front of the musical fountain in front of Bellagio, Wu Wei vowed to conquer Las Vegas, or perhaps in his subconscious, conquering Bellagio was equivalent to defeating Las Vegas.

Walking into the hotel casino, the spring-like atmosphere is blowing in your face, full of green trees and flowers, and polite waiters. The resplendent decoration makes people feel like they are stepping into the palace. The floral carpet with a bright red background is silent and heavy, and countless magnificent crystal chandeliers illuminate the entire casino.

After all, it is a world-class luxury hotel, and although tourists and gamblers are rubbing shoulders, roulette wheels, pai gow are rattling, and slot machines are clanging, there is no sense of hustle and bustle.

After entering the casino, Wuwei walked straight to the high-stakes gambling area, which was divided into two areas, one side was the baccarat gambling game. He glanced over there, and most of the gamblers were Chinese, and they were betting intently, and from time to time there was a commotion, which was a frustrated sigh or excited shout after each card opening. The blackjack area, on the other hand, is relatively quiet, with about a dozen or so tables, and only half of them are occupied.

The smaller the stakes in the casino, the more nervous they are, excited every time they open their cards, and once they lose, they will have red eyes, or slap the table or scream loudly. In the high-stakes gambling area, although the stakes are frighteningly large, the atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable, gamblers are drinking champagne while betting, smoking cigars, talking and laughing, and behaving elegantly, for them gambling is a kind of leisure and entertainment. Because real players don't really care about winning or losing for a while, for them, losing millions is like a pastime, laughing it off, they come to the casino just to find the excitement at the table, to taste the feeling of turning over the clouds, so that the heart is satisfied in relaxation.

Today, Wuwei deliberately wore a black dress, a snow-white shirt and a bright red bow tie, which made him more mature and capable.

He walked over with confident steps, attracting the girls around him to look sideways at this extraordinary young man, the beautiful woman who was dealing cards at the table couldn't help but take advantage of the gap in the cards to sneak a glance at him, and even a few blondes let out a slight exclamation from their mouths, these Western girls have always been enthusiastic and unrestrained, and never hide their inner emotions.

The manager of the gambling area in a suit hurriedly stepped forward and asked Wuwei who his host (the person in the casino who specializes in serving large and medium gamblers), he shook his head and handed him a check for 100,000 yuan, and then sat down at the blackjack table with a sign that said the betting range was 500 to 50,000 yuan, which is blackjack with six decks of cards.

It was an empty table, there wasn't a single gambler around, and he had already planned to go head-to-head with the casino tonight. Having a gambler's table can affect how quickly you think and how quickly you play.

Wuwei first asked for 50,000 yuan in chips, which is a strategy, and he must not take 100,000 yuan together. At the same time, the manager of the gambling area was asked to raise the upper limit of the bet, and the manager nodded and agreed after asking the superior by phone.

He beckoned to the lady who was waiting next to him to open a bottle of champagne and bring it over. The wine girl pushed the champagne cart over, poured the champagne into a beautiful goblet, and respectfully placed it in front of Wuwei. Gamblers in casinos, even if they order expensive champagne to drink, are free.

Wuwei smiled and thanked the drinkgirl, then handed her a black hundred-dollar chip to tip. The glamorous girl smiled at Wu Wei and said, "Thankyoumydear, goodluck!" (thank you, dear, good luck!).

The dealer was a blonde woman in a red uniform, who had been smiling at Wu Wei and enthusiastically saying to him, "Hi, howareyoutoday?" (How are you today?)

“Good!” (Okay.) Wu Wei smiled lightly.

“Wannaplay?” (Do you want to play now?) the blonde asked.

“Yes.” Wuwei nodded, then reached out and took out his talisman jade Buddha from the placket of his shirt, gently stroked it with his hand, and habitually put it to his mouth and kissed it.
