589. Hillbilly Mr. Lee (3)
Las Vegas is not far from Flagpole City, but it does not belong to Arizona, but to Nevada, the state of the desert and the state of gambling. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From Flagpole City, head west to Kingman, and from Kingman head northwest, across the Colorado River, and then you will reach Nevada.
On the map, Nevada is a vast, almost uninhabited desert dotted with a series of mining towns.
It's just that these mining towns have become a thing of the past, and the hoes and shovels have been sold and replaced by slot machines.
The Colorado River became a watershed, and the southeast belonged to Arizona, where everything was normal, but once you entered Nevada, everything immediately went crazy.
They can see slot machines when they fill up at the gas station, go to the supermarket to buy groceries, and eat in restaurants and restaurants.
Even when they arrived in Las Vegas, because it was close to noon, they found a restaurant to eat, and when ordering, the waiter first said: "We have more customers, and the food is served slowly, if you can't wait, you can go and play the slot machine for a while." ”
Li Du was dumbfounded: "This is encouraging gambling?" ”
Hans spread his hands and said, "Hey, gringos, welcome to Nevada!" ”
Not only is gambling legal, but it is also legal in the countryside here, and there are two girls in cut-out dresses and black suspenders in the restaurant who are flattering the diners.
Li Du's spirit was a little trance-like, and he felt that he was not in the 21st century, but in the 19th century, the era of the great development of the wilderness in the American West.
This has something to do with Hans's choice of restaurant, which is decorated in the style of the 19th century West in the movies, with revolvers hanging on the walls, horse tethers on the outside, and cowboy hats and water reins hanging next to the tables.
The meals weren't special, with burgers, sandwiches, chunks of roast and a variety of vegetable salads found everywhere in the United States, as well as beer.
The West has always been the birthplace of America's wild spirit, and the people here still worship freedom, wildness, brutality, and toughness, which is reflected in the restaurant, which is that they have an activity:
Beer drinking event, with a large glass of beer on the table, whoever can drink it in five seconds can save money and tips.
Waiters here are paid very little and rely on tips, and if a customer tips little, the waiter may just speak ill of him.
Yes, it seems incredible, because the food industry is a service industry, but it can't be helped, the people here are fierce, and everyone does it.
Li Du left a tip of 50 yuan, and each of the five people left 10 yuan, which was a lot of tips, because their meal money was only 100 yuan.
If it weren't for Godzilla, the big eater, then the other four people would have eaten fifty yuan, and the consumption in this rural area is really low enough, and the amount of food given is very large.
Li Duduo gave a tip because the waiter helped him pull a bench for Meow, Ah Hao and Crispy Noodles for them to sit on, and many restaurants do not allow pets to enter.
Forty minutes later, a towering city appeared.
Las vegas!
It's a city with multiple personalities, constantly changing styles since the days of the Rat Gang, and the city can do anything to catch the eye of its visitors.
The rest of the U.S. is all about heritage and preserving history, but Las Vegas doesn't do that, it's the whole city that goes with the tide of the times.
Here, the old is constantly giving way to the new, and the signs of the past have long since accumulated dust in the neon cemetery, and the pace of change never stops.
This is not the case only in casinos, where time seems to stand still, there are no clocks, no time passing, only fresh air pumped in, never-ending buffets and endless drinks.
There is a constant stream of cars on the road, not to mention Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and other luxury cars everywhere, but as long as you want to find it, it is always easy to find.
Li Du's Hellcat can still attract some eyeballs in Flagpole City, but in Las Vegas? Probably no one wants to bother to take a second look.
Hans opens the navigation and enters a destination that is domineering: Caesar's Palace.
Li Du was surprised: "Yo, you have ordered Caesar's Palace?" ”
This is one of the top hotels in Las Vegas and is almost considered a landmark, and many people visit Caesars Palace as a tourist attraction.
Hans shrugged and said, "I just got more than 800,000 in my account, and I can't help but want to spend some money." ”
Li Du gave a thumbs up: "Cool! ”
Hans said: "Actually, Caesar's Palace doesn't have much money, two or three hundred yuan a night, and I didn't book a presidential suite, one room for each person." ”
The official was overjoyed: "Damn, I knew it was right to follow you, haha, I haven't lived in Caesar's Palace yet!" ”
Caesars Palace is a big hotel, and now there are hotels or entertainment venues with this name in many places around the world, and speaking of which, this hotel in Las Vegas is like an ancestor of existence.
They stopped the truck at the door, and several handsome men in suits were ready to help them open the door, but when they looked up at the tall truck, they were stunned: they had to pedal up to open the door.
Li Du and the others had already pushed it away, and the two handsome guys had no choice but to bend down and stretch out their hands with a smile: "Welcome." ”
The hotel is large in size, the construction is magnificent, and the whole imitates the Greco-Roman style, and if there are great architects here, they will definitely scoff at its mixed style.
But it is taking the route of local tyrants, not for the masters, Li Du walked in, saw a lot of replicas of classic statues, so there is a feeling of uncertainty, that this hotel is still very artistic.
The waiter provided a very warm service, and when he saw him looking at the statues, he said, "If you like stone carvings, then you can't miss the Burning Sky Temple, please go this way." ”
The marble temple is home to stylized statues of gods, towering fountains, and a group of pretty girls dressed as goddesses, but these are hostesses, holding cocktails and snacks.
Hans grabbed a rainbow-shaped cocktail and placed a ten-dollar tip.
The girl is very reserved and bends slightly to show her gratitude, not showing her breasts or legs, which is indeed a bit of a goddess.
Li Du said: "I think this place is called a labyrinth? Roman labyrinth? Where is that Minotaur? ”
The Minotaur was a half-human, half-bull monster on Crete, the product of a cow sent by Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete, and Poseidon, with a human body and the head of a cow, and Minos built a labyrinth for it in Crete.
Hans pointed to the side and said, "If you are interested, go and check it out, a cafeteria with Kobe beef in it, it is also a good place." ”
Li Du was stunned, is there really such a thing? And how big is this hotel?!
