Phoenix City is like a rainbow: The third interesting journey in the United States and the West - Lingering on the Golden Coast

Phoenix City is like a rainbow: The third interesting journey in the United States and the West - Lingering on the Golden Coast The next day, Monday morning, December 19, I got up before dawn and took a nap...

The next day, Monday morning, December 19, I got up before dawn, left the hotel room after washing, and walked a dozen steps into the casino. I saw it was deserted and there were not many gamblers. They were probably like my wife, who gambled until late last night and were still sleeping soundly. I patrolled the entire casino. I believe this is the quietest time of the day! Let's go to the first two restaurants. They have just been preparing to open their stores, but they are not yet open. I wanted to see the morning view of the town of Primm Vally and walk outside, oh my! The cold wind was biting and it was so unbearable that I hurriedly retreated inside the floor-to-ceiling glass door. The towering signboard lights outside were still flashing, as if laughing at my cowardice! I felt bored and looked for a slot machine to pass the time. Not long after, Sister Liang Man passed by. They made fun of me for wanting to get rich so early in the morning. They also said they planned to walk across the street to have breakfast and complained that the weather was really cold. I told her that those free coupons could be used in restaurants here, so she didn't have to go outside to suffer from the cold wave. Liang Man happily met with Yu Jiangying and his wife. I also summoned the queen, and the six of us entered the Mega Cafe to share breakfast. As for the other four relatives and friends in my group, they got up later than me, so they had to "take care of themselves". At nine-thirty, the "Specially 4-U Tours" tour bus arrived to pick us up. At ten o'clock, we set off for the famous Las Vegas casino, forty miles away. Some of us didn't want to be tired from traveling back and forth in the car, and preferred to stay in the casino hotel where we could sleep, make money, and have other entertainment. Anyway, we had to come back to stay at night. I wanted to take a stroll in the central area of ​​the casino, mainly to visit Chinatown. Since my husband and I made a special trip here for our wedding anniversary three years ago, I have not set foot in the casino recently. The U.S. economy is in decline, but I heard that Las Vegas is still looking bright. The tour bus walked for more than half an hour and arrived at the bustling central area of ​​Las Vegas. It stopped in front of the Gold Coast Casino and allowed the tourists to travel freely. The tour guide told them to gather together at 6 pm to watch the brilliant Christmas lights at night. At this time, everyone is very excited and can finally choose the program as they please. I stood outside and looked up, and saw that the Gold Coast Casino is vast and majestic, more majestic than the Whiskey Casino. The so-called Gold Coast is just a pleasant name. In fact, it is surrounded by thoroughfares, buildings and shops, and there is no ocean. When I walked into the casino and inspected it, I saw that it was wide and wide, with leisure rooms, shopping malls, restaurants, and a big Chinese signboard: Qianzhuang Noodle House. The casino is equipped with a variety of slot machines and rows of card tables. Many of the dealers on the card tables are Chinese, and gamblers of different skin colors gather there. There are not many tourists coming in and out, and there are free seats everywhere. If you are too lazy to move around, you can hang around and pass the time. Our group broke into pieces, and one group after another were discussing how to arrange the program. Most of them planned to go sightseeing outside, and the most popular one was to go to Chinatown. Soon we saw them marching out of the gate and heading towards their destination; two or three teammates left the group due to neglect of contact, and they were not familiar with the road or the language, so they could only hang out on the Golden Coast. My group of six people are cohesive and cannot scatter their things and move around randomly; and Xiuqing has decided to go to the No. 1 Vietnamese Soup Noodle Shop to taste the delicious food. She is not hungry yet and plans to go panning for gold on the Golden Coast first; Lin Jingming has pain in his legs and is unable to travel far, so he temporarily chooses items in the store. It wasn't until noon that we went to Vietnamese Restaurant No. 1 as planned and prepared to take a taxi. However, there were no seven-seat taxis here. When we were hesitating outside the casino, a Chinese lady was driving a few elderly people to see the venue. Seeing this situation, she volunteered to help drive the three of them to Chinatown. I was really lucky to meet a noble person. It was easy to solve the problem with the remaining three. Later, Chu Rong came up with the best idea, which was to call his cousin Ah Fu to come out and have lunch together. Ah Fu lives in Las Vegas and works in a casino. Today, Monday, happens to be his period, so that would be the best. As long as there is a car and pick-up and drop-off in batches, all the communication problems can be easily solved. There were seven of us in total, and we went to Vietnamese Restaurant No. 1. As expected, it was well-deserved. There were so many diners, and we had to register and wait. It is not easy to have money to eat, and it takes a lot of time to enjoy the delicious food. In the end, Afu drove us back to Golden Coast twice. He said goodbye and left, and the six of us returned to Golden Coast to hang out. My original plan to go sightseeing and shopping in Chinatown was canceled due to various inconveniences. Soon after, many group members also came back one after another. Some were reading newspapers in the living room, some were wandering around, and some continued to play. Everyone was looking forward to watching the wonderful Christmas light show in the evening.
