Gambling industry to make the desert town of extra cash, and prosperity. Las Vegas landmark is the casino hotel. Than a such a luxurious building, a more than a strange strange. Such as the Mirage Hotel Casino entrance, there is a huge active volcano model, automatic spraying every 15 minutes, burst time, spray the flames, becoming a major spectacle casino. 

    
Las Vegas to California on the road had only an oasis, is surrounded by an endless desert. 30 years of the 20th century, gambling Nevada, decided to make a legitimate business, this order came out, almost overnight, the urban areas have been established casinos. Las Vegas, "Las Vegas" in the name and it has spread.

Stretching in the faint state of the brain half asleep, the car stopped suddenly, so that we suddenly awake. I looked out the window, Hey, we live downtown. Is it a mirage? This bustling city are very lonely and suddenly the rise of in a desert. Blocks of tall buildings in the bright lights and neon signs advertising marked a startling characters: "Casino" (Casino). We visit a few casinos, they have in common is: luxurious decoration, equipment, pay attention, everything living facilities. Above the casino floor, is comfortably furnished rooms. Casino features a bar, cafe, restaurant ... ... and much cheaper than the market price charged. Americans seem to believe in "a small fish to catch a great" philosophy of the casino in order to "encourage" a lot of travel agencies to attract gamblers, especially given all the concessions. Therefore, the travel distance than the same time as other tourism projects to be much lower: and as the visitors prepared to distinguish between gambling: gambling full days of "fat consortium", 6 yuan per person (weekends and holidays received 12 yuan) ; day gambling one day tour of the "Tourism, Development Foundation," 32 yuan per person; and all free, without any restriction of the "tour", then 42 yuan per person. Casino "not suitable for children", "fat consortium" members, such as underage children to carry, charge 32 yuan for each child, not preferential treatment, not encourage them to learn at an early age gambling, it is probably out of the casino's "conscience" of it!

Long wanted to see what Las Vegas is. This huge world-famous casino, like the powerful magnet, attracting every day from all corners of the earth tens of thousands of gamblers and tourists. Hot sun and we were actually so close, seemed to be melting grilled wagon; endless sand dunes, barren ridge in the street extension. Ah, Olga Bay desert! No trees, no houses, no pedestrians, and only patches of low tropical shrubs and cacti, perhaps even in the desert for the survival of these plants also feel excessive drought, which appears to wither withered . All life seemed to be steaming in the choked. Organize our travel guide to Las Vegas, solemnly announced: At the moment, the vehicle temperature is 120 ° F. Although the car has air conditioning, it can only drop 20 ° F or so. Our blood sweat and felt Chunjiao Shezao, throat pain. In these circumstances, so that we could not help thinking of Dante's "Divine Comedy." Is this the way is the way to hell?
