Come to Las Vegas, so that I subvert the understanding of the hotel. In the past, I think, the hotel has hundreds of beds, the scale is big enough; in addition to accommodation, there are restaurants, saunas, gyms, swimming pools, even if the function of the whole. However, hotels in Las Vegas generally have several thousand beds, high ceilings, luxurious decoration, large casinos, restaurants with thousands of seats, shopping malls selling all kinds of luxury goods, theaters performing different kinds of shows, and a wide variety of entertainment facilities. In a word, the hotels in Las Vegas are a comprehensive place for enjoyment with accommodation, dining, gambling, shopping and entertainment. Visitors can stay in a hotel for 10 days and half a month without having to leave their homes to fulfill all their pleasure needs. In China, except for Macau, you can not see such a hotel.
The hotels in Las Vegas have another feature: none of them are the same, and all of them have different styles. We live in the Hollywood Hotel, the door flashes with colorful neon lights, hung with giant photos of the stars, do not know people thought it was a movie theater! As soon as we entered the door, there were so many slot machines and rows of gambling tables that we couldn't even see the head of the table. At one table, a beautiful woman is dealing cards, and the gamblers are nervously thinking about how to bet. At the table stood a head-scratching three-pointed dancer dancing in place, and loud music resonated through the hall. I thought to myself, with a beautiful woman dealing cards on one side and a seductive dancer on the other, how could a gambler not be distracted and lose money? Before I came to Las Vegas, I heard this saying: "If you are so poor that you only have a few dollars left, go to Las Vegas and try your luck! Maybe overnight you will become a rich man with ten thousand dollars in your pocket; if you can't spend all your money, come to Las Vegas! Maybe the next day you'll turn into a penniless pauper." When I arrived at the Las Vegas casinos, I realized that unlike what I had imagined, the eyes of the gamblers were not all shining with greed. On the contrary, I saw many educated old men and women sitting in front of the slot machines, skillfully pressing the buttons of various colors as if they were playing electronic games, as if they didn't care about winning or losing, but were just killing their extra time.
Next to the Hollywood Hotel is the Paris Hotel. The Paris Hotel is a different place to visit. In front of the Paris Hotel stands the Eiffel Tower, the hotel has the Arc de Triomphe, French-style streets and bars. The vast blue sky has a white cloud, and the white cloud is still floating, very realistic, a strong sense of space.
But my favorite is the Venetian Hotel. This hotel cost 1.8 billion dollars to recreate the scenery of Venice water city, the Bridge of Sighs, bell tower, stone road, St. Mark's Square, one by one presented here. Visitors can take a gondola ride and enjoy the scenery along the coast. It is said that both the gondolas and the boatmen come from Venice. Boatmen wearing wide-brimmed hats sing authentic Italian folk songs, attracting tourists on the bridge to stop and enjoy. The bridge, the flowing water, the gondolas, the boatmen and the reflections in the water make up a view of the Venetian Hotel that you won't see in other hotels. Plus, the man-made sky that changes every 20 minutes, like really coming to Venice, is really sobering! Who would have thought that this would be the view from the second floor of the hotel?
Walking along the Las Vegas Strip, 24 hours a day or night, is filled with tourists of all colors. The first thing you need to do is to get to the top of the list of the most popular places in the world. My perception of Las Vegas can be summed up in eight words: "lights, drinks and fun". Compared with Los Angeles, Las Vegas has a completely different style and atmosphere: Los Angeles is a city of entrepreneurship and culture, while Las Vegas is a city of consumption and enjoyment. The entertainment programs here, only you can not think of, no can not do. All the shows are world-class, all the food is the world's top, general shows and restaurants simply can not mix here. People from all over the world come here for one purpose only, to spend a lot of money and enjoy the happiness that they can't enjoy in other places.
The Mirage Hotel has an eruption show every night. As soon as it is 7 o'clock, the rocky mountain in front of the hotel bursts into flames, followed by a deafening fire that shakes the ground. The fire, wrapped in thick smoke, comes towards the audience, roasting the skin and making it hot and painful. After 10-12 minutes, the volcano stopped erupting. Half an hour later it erupts again until late at night. The sound, light, fire, and vibrations here are all computer-controlled and consume thousands of dollars in gasoline and other costs each night. That's a staggering amount of money to spend every day of the year!
Paragon Hotel has an artificial lake, covering an area of 32,000 square meters. The colorful musical fountain here has more than 1,000 water jets, the height and angle of the water jets vary, the highest up to 140 meters. Every night, every hour spray. Music together, colorful fountains dance, dancing with the rhythm of the music, the scene is extremely spectacular, worthy of the world's originator of musical fountains. The hotel rooms are equipped with luxurious marble bathrooms, and there are five swimming pools of different shapes and sizes outdoors, where you can enjoy massages by the poolside. The hotel also has a lush botanical garden and an art gallery with many of the world's most famous paintings, so that both nature lovers and art lovers can get their spiritual fulfillment.
At the Paragon, we also saw the "O Show". "O" is the French pronunciation of "water", this is a water-themed high (high level), big (big production), up (upscale) show. The performance theater, which corresponds to the "O", is a circular structure that cost 75 million dollars. The theater has 1,800 seats and is divided into 4 floors, with a half-ring of boxes for the wealthy on the 2nd floor and above. Despite the high price of tickets, the theater was filled to capacity and the spectacle was unprecedented. The show breaks through the old concept of the stage, the successful use of 3D technology and flexible stage scheduling, the stage can be instantly transformed into a pool, perfectly presenting the air, ground, underwater trinity of three-dimensional performance. Divers from more than 10 high place jumped down, the action is beautiful and skillful. Visible pool water on the stage is deep enough, otherwise it is difficult to ensure the safety of diving actors. Las Vegas "O show" for the "world's three major shows" one, bringing together the well-known Olympic diving, water ballet players and the world's top trapeze, Mongolian cartilage, gymnastics juggling and other masters, composed of ultra-luxurious show lineup, a variety of art forms The "O Show" is a perfect combination of beautiful art, superb technology and modern technology, which can be regarded as the top feast of the world's arts and cultural performances. "O Show" performance is full of upward, healthy and enterprising positive energy, and there is no yellow performance or other low interest. The audience from all over the world was so enthusiastic that throughout the performance, there was nothing but amazement, applause and screams. My aftermath can only be described in four words: breathtaking.
In today's world, the most famous restaurants are Michelin restaurants, and the highest-paid chef is Britain's Gordon Ramsey. He is Michelin's most famous chef, the only chef in the world to have won seven consecutive Michelin "three-star" title. He made a restaurant TV program in the United States, called "Hell's Kitchen", which is popular all over the world, with more than 3 million fans.
Gordon Ramsey opened his fifth restaurant in Las Vegas, named after the world-famous TV program "Hell's Kitchen". It is the first Hell's Kitchen in the world and is located at Caesars Palace in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. There are a lot of diners who come to Hell's Kitchen, and there is a line. We deliberately queued up here to enjoy the flavor of "Hell's Kitchen".
Hell's Kitchen is designed by Pierce International Design, very personalized and experiential. At the entrance is the Hell's Kitchen logo: a large barbecue fork and a roaring fire, vividly reflecting Gordon's character. Gordon was a very demanding and fiery cook, and working in his kitchen was like being in "hell". He once defended his hot temper: if the kitchen fire is not strong, how can the chef have passion?
The restaurant is bright, airy and vibrant, with a capacity of more than 300 people. As soon as guests enter the restaurant, they think they are walking into the studio of a TV program. The open kitchen puts the ingredients, kitchen hygiene, and the process in full view, making customers feel like they're watching a TV show from Hell's Kitchen. The waitresses are also good, always smiling, familiar with the dishes, always explaining patiently, and acting as a good advisor to the customers. Of course, the tip is also higher than other restaurants, the waiter's income is quite substantial.
Hell's Kitchen is not a bad name, their dishes are indeed very exquisite, the taste is clearly above other restaurants. We tasted steak, foie gras, salmon, lobster barley, onion soup, and ice cream ...... none of which was less than exquisite and delicious. The famous Wellington steak was served with a tantalizing aroma that was mouth-watering. When you cut off a piece and send it to your mouth, you feel that the reddish beef looks so tender and delicious, and there is no feeling of raw meat at all. The mushrooms and seasonings on top of the steak are a perfect match, mixing with the steak to create a special flavor that will make you crave for more, and you won't be able to stop after one bite. The most popular burger is also very delicate, not just a piece of meat and vegetables, but each ingredient is carefully prepared, with a number of "small essence" to form the "big essence" of the whole steak. When I tasted the burger, I can not help but secretly sigh in my heart: writing, painting and even do things for people is not the same! To do a good job in every detail, accumulation of small fine for the big fine, this is the way to do things, and Gordon Ramsey's secret of success, I'm afraid also lies in this!
All kinds of food ordered almost tasted, and finally served ice cream. Eight milky white balls in a circle on a plate, like white flowers. After the waiter poured liquid nitrogen on the ice cream, the liquid nitrogen at -196 instantly vaporized. Liquid nitrogen on the surface of the ice cream to form a layer of tiny ice crystals, in addition to the sense of slush, so that the ice cream has a better taste, eat in the mouth is still bubbling, quite a feeling of swallowing clouds and fog. White smoke lingers around the ice cream, as if the snow lotus in the cloudy mountains, creating a kind of fairy mountain to find the mood of the road. I seem to forget that I am in a luxurious downtown, and enter another cold and secluded world.
