All the problems about Dan-san’s car was settled on Saturday, and Dan-san and Hiroko left for Las Vegas Sunday (4/15) evening.
The following day, Monday, 16th, they went to see Mike-san and Jimmy-san at Down Town, Las Vegas Casino called California.
Mike-san and Jimmy-san were setting down in front of machines.
Mike-san was happy for winning, and Jimmy-san was unhappy for losing.
Mike-san, Mike-san’s daughter Janice, Jimmy-san, Jimmy-san’s wife Alice-san, Dan-san’s brother Tets-chan, his wife Saeru-san, Dan-san, and Hiroko, total 8 people went to the famous buffet in California casino. There are many delicious foods were line-up. Everyone carefully selected their foods except Jimmy-san. He said he loves meats
These pictures were taken at Buffet, Mike-san and Jimmy-san were missing. They might already have gone to play the machine. Janice said Mike-san would be 93 years old one month later, so she has been visiting and taking care of Mike-san almost every day. She said she knew everything about Mike-san, because she has been the Papa’s daughter and loves him so much. Mike-san was so happy and thanking to Janice. Everyone was so glad to hear how Mike-san has been taken care by Janice.
There should be time limit to stay at Buffet Restaurant, so everyone greeted uncles and moved to see the hotel Jimmy-san and Untie Alice was staying called “Golden Nuggets.”
This is Down Town Las Vegas.
From one of these casinos this great town of La Vegas was started. Many artists were doing some shows on the streets. At evening every 30minutes from 8, there is the electronic show on the ceiling.
Long time ago, Frank Sinatra and his crews were staying almost every week-end at the hotel of “Golden Nuggets.”
The hotel’s Casino entrance
Everyone tired of walking through the downtown, so sun bathing by the Hotel’s pool.
At the buffet restaurant in this Hotel Jimmy-san bought the dinner for everyone, even though he was saying lost, and lost. Jimmy-san said this year would be the last year for 442 Reunion, and then we could to see each other so often. Everyone talked and talked until the late night.
Someone said the Electronic Ceiling Pageant 2nd show would be starting, so we too left the restaurant to see the show.
The photos of the pageant
After the pageant we promised to see Jimmy-san and Alice-san at the breakfast on Thursday the day they would be returning home in Georgia, and then, we returned to Tets/Saeru’s time-share premises.
The next day, 17th, Wednesday, Tets-chan and Saeru-san offered to take Dan-san and Hiroko to Lake Las Vegas. Before Lake Las Vegas, we attended some special meeting and obtained discount theater tickets.
We entered the Hotel built by the Lake Las Vegas, and took the photos and enjoyed the sceneries of the lake.
This is a man-made lake. Isn’t it big? We wondered from where all the water comes from in this dessert.
Mexican was the day’s dinner, because Tets-chan had a discount coupon in his guide book. Hiroko forgot to take photo, but we came to this restaurant couple of year ago. We all remembered that at the time Saeru-san and Hiroko ordered the Mexican drink called Margarita, and the price of drinks was more than the 4 people’s dinner.
After the dinner, we went to Luxor Hotel, at where the magic and illusion show would be held. We finally sat down and played the machine until the show starts. At the down town Casino, Saeru and Hiroko didn’t play any machines, but Tets-chan and Dan-san played, because Tets-chan said he was very happy to win some money in the Down Town casino. He was looking for the same kind of machine.
To the theater:
Hiroko knew that the photos taken in the dark theater could not be coming out well, but the performer said, “Now, you can take photos.” These are Hiroko’s photos in the theater.
The next day, 18th, Wednesday, Saeru wanted to take us again to Red-Rock Canyon, because closer to canyon there is interesting zoo.
From the running car, Hiroko took these Red Rock Canyon photos.
Hiroko found out interesting fact that from the moving car good photos were taken, if the scenery is not moving. Amazing! Aren’t these photos good?
The interesting zoo.
Lions, tigers, elephants, etc. are not in this zoo, but all the animals such as horses, buffalos, peacocks, turtles, roosters, chickens, etc. are walking around on the ground.
We saw the advertising that “Horseback riding inside the canyon for one hour $50.00.”
Taking Photos From the running car
Plants in the dessert
For lunch, we went to Down Town, because there is very tasty Hawaiian Noodle at the Hawaiian restaurant. Many Hawaiians are coming to the Down Town Casino so there is the Hawaiian corner. We saw Mike-san and Janice-san were sitting down playing the machine. Jimmy-san and Alice-san were attending 442 Reunion Meeting that day, so we didn’t see them.
Surprising Technologies!! Janice took photos with her I-phone, and asked Hiroko’s cell phone number.
These two photos were taken by Janice’s I-phone, and came to Hiroko’s cell phone within 1 minute.
That evening, four of us played the machine at the casino called South Port near by the time share premise, and lost the money. Hiroko had usually played the poker machines but that night played many interesting different kind of machines and enjoyed, because Dan-san said we should just enjoy here without thinking losing or winning since we didn’t go to casino in Chicago any more. Win and lose, lose and win, at last Hiroko lost.
The next day, 19th, Thursday, Jimmy-san/Alice-san and Tets-chan/Saeru-san would be leaving that morning. Before everyone separating we had breakfast together at Down Town hotel. Jimmy-san told us that 200 people attended the 442 Reunion, but among the 200 only 18 were actually served in the United States Military as 442 soldiers, other 182 were their family members. All those family members wanted to continue to hold this reunion. Jimmy-san and Mike-san will be coming to Las Vegas again next March or April, Jimmy-san said. Please take care of yourself everyone, and see you all again.
After Tets-chan/Saeru-san left, Dan-san and Hiroko enjoyed the Jacuzzi and played the machine again. Dan-san and Hiroko won this time. Hiroko played Poker machine.
Give thanks to the Lord for letting us have enjoyable time with Uncles and Auntie, and Tets-chan and Saeru-san at Las Vegas.
There is couple of news:
After the breakfast Jimmy-san played again and he hit Royal Flush and won $1,000.00. He lost around $500.00 for the previous days, so at last he won $500.00.
At Jacuzzi Hiroko had very interesting conversation with the Canadian man. He told us he has to have under-go-knee operation after returning Canada, so Hiroko asked to pray for his operation for the Lord, Jesus. He said yes, so Hiroko prayed in the warm Jacuzzi for his knee operation.
