Chapter 136: The Real Las Vegas
Las Vegas, the first of the four major casinos, is the most famous casino in the world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou may not know what the other three casinos are, but Las Vegas is the only one that comes to mind. Or rather, when it comes to casinos, Las Vegas is almost everyone's first thought. The city has been completely equated with gambling. Come to this city, gamble a few times, and maybe you can turn your bicycle into a supercar.
Of course, there is a good chance that you will lose to the point where you don't even have your underwear.
As the capital of Nevada, a city built on a desert site, Las Vegas was a small, dilapidated village more than a hundred years ago. However, it was only ten years before it completed the transformation from a village to a city. Of course, the prosperity of Las Vegas at that time was purely because of the gold mines, not because of the gambling industry. The origin that really made it synonymous with gambling is from the Great Depression in the United States in the 30s of the 20th century, when Nevada passed the gambling legal bill. Now, Las Vegas is a big city that's really cosmopolitan.
While the real bustling area is just the heartland, if you want to go a step further, it's a few streets. Not to mention New York, Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston. Washington, D.C., a city that doesn't rank at all other than the capital, is also much bigger than Las Vegas. It is said to be an international big city, but in fact, it looks like that when you arrive, it will be like that. After all, Las Vegas is still famous for its gambling industry, so why do you come to this city if you don't try your hand at gambling?
It's a pity that only a small number of people come to Las Vegas to gamble, and most of them come to travel and go shopping, otherwise how could the income of the gambling industry be lower than that of Macau? If we look at it in this way, the name of the top of the four major gambling cities in Las Vegas is no longer guaranteed. Of course, although the revenue of the casino is not the first, but when it comes to the casino, you must think that the fixed thinking of Las Vegas can no longer be erased from everyone's mind, and this is enough. Even though there are very few gamblers, most tourists are attracted by the name. For example, Detroit, although it has long since declined, and even experienced bankruptcy, and now the economy is steadily recovering, but the title of "Motor City", apart from Detroit, which city dares to call itself so?
“…… The temperature in Las Vegas is really high...... "In Tokyo at the end of December and January, the temperature is only a few degrees Celsius, and it is not uncommon for it to go below zero. In contrast, Las Vegas is about 10 degrees higher than Tokyo. Fortunately, it's not summer, and the city is still built in the middle of the desert, and the daytime temperature at that time is at least above 35, and can even be as high as 45 to 50 degrees. Coupled with the long-term direct sunlight, the scorching sun is enough to roast you to the point that you will sweat after a few steps on the street.
"After all, the desert climate, isn't it, the temperature in Las Vegas in winter is quite good, and the nights are still very cold. Qianxia on the side said lightly, "Qianyao, you don't even understand this knowledge, and geography is not qualified." ”
"I ...... Of course I do!
"Is this city the size of Tokyo?" asked Suzu Asaba with some excitement.
"If you think about it, this is not New York, and Tokyo is the second largest city after New York. Chinatsu pouted, "Las Vegas, a city much worse than Osaka and Yokohama, is compared to Tokyo!"
"Hmm...... Is it so bad?" seems Suzu has always thought that she will come to a megacity...... But yes, after all, all the introductions say that Las Vegas is a "big international city", although it can't be wrong, after all, this city can't be considered small......
The five most well-known cities in the United States are estimated to be New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, and Las Vegas, but Las Vegas is far smaller than the previous four cities, and even the equally small Washington is much bigger than it. Of course, the "big" here is calculated purely in terms of urban areas. If you only count the area, it is also the largest city in Nevada, which is still much larger than Washington, which is really small.
The customs process was passed in San Francisco, so it was smooth to get to Las Vegas and go straight out of the airport. There are a lot of high-rise buildings outside the airport, but it's actually a few kilometers away from the city, not to mention the hotels, so you still have to take a taxi.
"Hey, do you want to do it?" Of course, the most important thing is to call and report to Li Xiangna first! Saying that she has arrived in Las Vegas, and the plane is not delayed or anything, otherwise it will be difficult to worry her later?
"Did you get to Las Vegas? didn't you encounter anything on the way, President?" said Sato, who was very concerned about the condition of the others.
"It's okay, although it's a foreign country, but it's not very different from China, and we don't have any problems with English, it's still very easy to do. ”
"It's okay, so you're going to the hotel next, right?"
"Well, we're at the door now, and we're about to take a taxi to the hotel...... "Chixia glanced over his head at Chihara, only to see that he was already gesturing to him in the distance, and it seemed that the car had arrived......
"Take a taxi?" Hearing this, Li Xiangna was stunned for a moment.
"yes, take a taxi, what's wrong?"
"No, no, no, don't take a taxi, I've got a car ready for you, and I'll be there in about two minutes, and now you're at the airport gate, right?"
"That's right. ”
"Just wait over there, the driver is one of ours, Peter Os, and he drives a Lincoln Extended, very conspicuous, and you can see it at a glance. After that, if you need to go anywhere, just call him!"
"That's right...... Thanks, Satoina. ”
"What's the politeness to me, President, the hotel has already arranged, they will take you up, you should need a good rest in time, right?"
"Of course. ”
"Well, then, that's it for now, and I'll tell you more about it in the evening. ”
"yes, I see!"
(These two days of Qingming Festival, so the update is relatively late, but it will definitely not be a single update, because there is no full attendance in a single update!)
