Chapter 70: Las Vegas
When they got out of the Kellogg Conference Hotel, Yuan Chen and Durunik directly stopped a taxi.
They went to the hotel to pick up some carry-on luggage and then sped towards Washington's National Airport, which was the closest to the hotel.
"Chinese guys, are you sure you're not hot-headed, how are you going to get to Las Vegas so late?" Durunik still felt that this matter was a little unreliable.
"I've just checked, and there is a plane to Las Vegas in two hours, and I have already booked my ticket, and it will be there the next morning." Yuan Haochen explained without thinking.
"S~HIT, it seems that you are serious." Durunik couldn't help but complain.
"It's called a walk-and-go trip in China."
"The Chinese are willful! We're really not going to be there tomorrow, NASA won't have a problem with us. "Durunik still has doubts in his heart." Since NASA wants us to cool off, let's go around and cool off before we go back to work. Yuan Haochen said lightly.
Sure enough, when Yuan and Durunike arrived at Washington National Airport, they boarded the flight to Las Vegas smoothly
Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada, USA, and "LasVegas" is derived from the Spanish word for "fertile green meadow".
Las Vegas ranks first among the world's four major gambling cities, with a huge tourism, shopping and vacation industry centered on the gambling industry, known as the "entertainment capital of the world" and enjoys a high international reputation.
"If you're destitute and have a few dollars left, go to Las Vegas and maybe turn over. Even if you can't spend all the money, you may lose your leggings when you go to Las Vegas. Las Vegas is like that, heaven on one side and hell on the other," Trunik gushed all the way on the plane to Hara about the strange things in Las Vegas.
Early the next morning, the plane arrived at this world-famous gambling city as scheduled. Hara and Durunik plan to find a place to live first.
"The hotels here are luxurious and distinctive" Trunik is clearly a regular Las Vegas customer, and he is a treasure trove of hotels and casinos.
Wynn Las Vegas is the newest and most luxurious state-of-the-art hotel, complete with pine-covered artificial rockeries, golf courses, waterfalls and a "lake of dreams." The Venetian Hotel has both a canal and a canopy. In addition to a variety of Italian-style galleries, the hotel also has a high-end clubhouse that makes you spend a lot of money. Inside the MGM Dream Hotel, there are miniature rainforest landscapes and man-made volcanoes that erupt on time every day
After wandering around, Hara and Durunik finally decided to stay at Caesars Palace.
The reason why I chose this hotel is because Yuan Haochen felt that the name of the hotel sounded domineering and very high.
Spanning 88,000 square feet, Caesars Palace Hotel is a complex of fine dining and entertainment facilities.
The hotel is characterised by the bustling streets of Ancient Rome, with huge stone columns and arcades, sculptures and artificial fountains in piazzas, which moisten the air and make you forget you are in the desert.
Before the hotel check-in was completed, Durunik had already begun to encourage Hara to try his luck.
"Let's go, let's see if you're talking about heaven or hell." Yuan Haochen had only seen the scene of a Las Vegas casino in film and television works in the past, and that degree was naturally like a leopard in a tube. Now that he is in Las Vegas this time, he plans to have a good taste of the casino.
Las Vegas is regarded by many people as a paradise for eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and having fun.
The casinos with colorful neon lights flashing at the entrances are like a lion and tiger with a bloody mouth open, greedily sucking the wealth of the world all the time, devouring the pockets and credit cards of those weak-willed gamblers, creating some miracles at the same time, but also digging hell on earth for the losers!
There are more than 200 luxury casinos in the entire Las Vegas casino.
Yuan followed in the footsteps of Durunik and walked into a huge casino that he was quite familiar with.
The casino is like a bizarre labyrinth, with a floor area of more than 400,000 square meters, and thousands of "slot machines" crisscross the entire lobby and every corner of the casino, and you can hear the dull spinning sound of the machines and the clattering of money everywhere you go.
In addition, the first floor of the casino has a large conference hall and banquet hall that can accommodate several thousand people. A variety of restaurants, shops, health clubs and cinemas are scattered around the casino.
The casino here is never closed, people can go upstairs to rest in the hotel when they are sleepy, wake up and go downstairs to continue the struggle, and when they are hungry, they can go to the cafeteria and eat with an open stomach for nearly $20.
"The air conditioners in the casino have oxygenators, and the oxygen is 60% more than the outdoor ones, and the lights are always controlled at their best." "So we never seem to get tired in the casino, and we are always in a state of euphoria to beat the slot machines. “
In the spirit of curiosity, Hara decided to take some time to look around, while Durunik played baccarat with all his might.
After leaving Durunik and looking around, Yuan Haochen found that there were no clocks installed in every room in the casino.
"It seems that when gamblers go into a state of madness, they will only be desperate to win, and time is no longer important to them." Yuan Haochen sighed secretly in his heart.
Yuan Haochen has always been an honest and good student before, and after joining the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance), he only devoted himself to scientific research every day.
Therefore, he basically does not know any card skills, at most he only has a superficial understanding of some poker and mahjong play. That's all, I still learned it from the bear children in my hometown.
However, most of the gambling activities here are actually trick-free, such as the "slots" that can be found everywhere in casinos, where winning or losing is a matter of luck.
After strolling around for a while, Yuan Haochen sat in a secluded corner not far from Durunike, feeding the "slot machine" one coin after another.
The slot machine starts spinning, then stops, and finally clangs out a whole bunch of coins and makes a wonderful sound.
"Pretty lucky!" Yuan Haochen put away the pile of coins in front of him with great interest, and then continued to feed the "slot machine".
