Looking at the sight of tall buildings outside the car window, Qin Feng actually felt like a country bumpkin entering the city. He had never been to Hong Kong Island and didn't know what it was like there, but comparing it to Australia Island, it was obviously still not as good as Las Vegas.
Sri Lanka is more prosperous.
The weather in May is approaching summer, and the midday sun is a bit hot, but the streets of Las Vegas are still bustling with people, as if tourists from all over the world have gathered here.
"Brother Hao, why is it so lively here?"
Qin Feng felt a little puzzled. Even in the small island of Ao, he had not seen so many tourists. In addition to gambling, Las Vegas must have other attractions to attract tourists.
"Brother Wu, Las Vegas is not only a gambling city, but also a world-famous wedding city."
Chen Shihao smiled and pointed to a place across the street, where there was a long queue, including young people, old people, and even couples holding babies.
"Are those people here to get married?" Qin Feng was stunned, because he did see many people wearing wedding dresses with happy smiles on their faces.
Chen Shihao nodded and said, "Yes, getting married in Las Vegas is very easy..."
The place Chen Shihao pointed out is known as the marriage registration office that never closes in Las Vegas. On average, nearly 120,000 men and women come here to register for marriage every year, of which 58% are from outside the city and foreigners.
At the marriage registration office, you only need to show your supporting documents, such as your driver's license, and then pay the registration fee of US$60. You can get your marriage license in 5 minutes, and then find a priest to hold the wedding in a nearby church to complete the marriage.
.
If a man or woman who comes to Las Vegas to get married alone does not have relatives, friends or acquaintances to witness the marriage, they can recruit a stranger on the street to be a witness, provided that they tip the other party dozens of dollars.
If you want to pursue excitement, people can hold a wedding in the sky by helicopter or balloon accompanied by a priest. Such a wedding costs about several thousand dollars. Some people vividly say that getting married in Las Vegas is as convenient as eating fast food.
If it is easy to get married, divorce will also be easy.
According to Nevada law, people can obtain a divorce certificate as long as one of the parties has lived in Las Vegas for three months. Many movie stars and celebrities like to get married in Las Vegas and eventually get divorced in this city.
"Thirty years ago, I also came to this place and met Bruce Lee here." Looking at the long line of bustling people, Chen Shihao had a sad look on his face.
Thirty years ago, Chen Shihao was still a bad boy wandering the streets. However, he met a good girl. The girl used the savings she earned from working to break through the obstacles of her family. She came to Las Vegas with Chen Shihao and got married.
marriage.
After getting married, Chen Shihao entered Ye Han's gambling kingdom, but he did not have the talent like Henry Wei. After all, he was not in this business, so he finally left Ye Han and entered the underworld.
As the saying goes, people can't help themselves in the world. Although Chen Shihao paid great attention to his family and never let his wife show up in front of others, one time when he went shopping with his wife, he met his enemy head-on.
In a melee, Chen Shihao's wife was stabbed three times in order to protect her husband. She died after being sent to the hospital. This made Chen Shihao extremely sad. Although he later killed the person who killed his wife, he was already
It doesn't help anymore.
The two were not married for long and did not leave any children. However, it has been more than 20 years since Chen Shihao's wife died. Although he has had a wife, he has never married again.
Seeing the place of love at this moment, even a big man like Chen Shihao from Australia Island couldn't help but feel a little sad. In front of his eyes, he seemed to see the smiling little girl wearing a plaid skirt again.
"Brother Hao, we are here!" A Kun's voice interrupted Chen Shihao's thoughts.
I looked up and saw that the car was already parked in the underground parking lot of the MGM Grand Hotel. More than ten people got on and off from the cars that came in earlier, surrounding Chen Shihao's car.
"Danny, don't you need such a big pomp? I've been to Las Vegas, and the security here is not that bad..."
Henry Wei felt that Chen Shihao was making a fuss out of a molehill. He had accompanied Ye Han to gamble in Las Vegas several times, but as Ye Han, he did not create the pomp and circumstance that Chen Shihao did.
"Nowadays, it's different from the past. Some people can do anything, so we have to guard against..."
Chen Shihao shook his head and said: "During last year's Gambling King Competition, a local gambling king in Las Vegas was shot dead in the parking lot, and the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Mafia were at loggerheads...
"
Gambling has always been on the fringes of the law. Even in cities like Las Vegas and Australia where gambling is allowed by law, most of this industry is controlled by well-backed associations.
Just like the MGM Casino, there is the shadow of the American Mafia behind it, and the Caesars Palace Hotel not far from the MGM Hotel is said to be an industry of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan.
In addition, Rolling Stone Casino, Venetian Casino, Monte Carlo Casino, etc., among these casinos, in order to compete for resources, different secret battles are going on every day! Behind the prosperity is bloodshed, although each casino
There is a tacit understanding among them that they are not allowed to assassinate each other, but when huge interests are involved, this kind of thing still happens from time to time.
Especially during the Gambling King Competition, which represents the upcoming redistribution of power, interests and territory, assassinations occurred one after another. Otherwise, Chen Shihao would not have specially let a group of subordinates sneak into the United States.
Of course, these subordinates may not all be used to protect themselves. At certain times, they can also act as killers and pull out some nails that hinder their progress.
"No rules are the best rules." After hearing Chen Shihao's explanation, Qin Feng's eyes flashed.
Qin Feng originally thought that he would have to go to Washington or New York to find people from the killer organization, but now it seems that they should have a stronghold in Las Vegas.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine once you enter the hotel."
Chen Shihao said: "All assassinations are limited to outside the hotel. As long as we enter the hotel, no force will touch us again."
As a world-famous tourist city, the melee between gangs must be hidden in the darkness that ordinary people cannot detect, and the appearance is still very bright. Otherwise, the US government may be involved.
When taking the elevator to the ground lobby to go through the formalities, Chen Shihao pointed to the guests and said: "This year's Gambling King Competition is held at MGM. Most of the tourists here are here for the Gambling King Competition..."
In order to attract gamblers, the Gambling King Competition needs to rank the world rankings for the new year within the gambling world, but for tourists, it is a grand carnival.
During the Gambling King Contest, all tourists can receive fifty US dollars in chips for free, and then sign up to participate in the peripheral knockout rounds of the Gambling King Contest, and all the money they win will belong to themselves.
Moreover, the visitor with the highest ranking will also receive a grand prize of one million US dollars from the organizer, so during the Gambling King Competition in May, it always attracts people from all over the world.
"It's a very good marketing strategy. I'm afraid by holding a gambling king contest, these casinos will make a lot of money."
Qin Feng figured it out after a little mental calculation. The threshold for participating in the peripheral elimination rounds of the Gambling King Competition is very low. It only requires a registration fee of fifty US dollars, and this fee will also be distributed to tourists as chips.
But trying to compete with only fifty dollars is simply a fantasy.
Because the minimum bet for each round in the Gambling King Competition is fifty US dollars, that is to say, if these tourists lose the first round after signing up and are unwilling to pay any more, then they will lose the qualification for the competition.
People who can come to Las Vegas are somewhat wealthy, so many people will spend thousands of dollars to try their luck.
It's not a lot for a person to spend thousands or even thousands of dollars, but if this number is multiplied by tens of thousands or even multiplied by hundreds of thousands, it would be very scary.
Someone once estimated that during the Gambling King Contest, the profits earned from tourists who joined in the fun alone amounted to more than billions of dollars, and the Gambling King Contest lasted only two short weeks.
Therefore, the three casinos that control the Gambling King Contest in Las Vegas take turns to be the casinos. Every year, they come up with many tricks to attract tourists. The lobby of the MGM hotel is full of various promotions about the Gambling King Contest.
Order and registration points.
After checking in, Chen Shihao handed Qin Feng a hotel room card and said: "Brother Wu, you and Henry live in the presidential suite. We live on the floor below. If you need anything, just call me.
"
As early as the end of the Gambling King Competition last year, Chen Shihao booked a hotel in the name of participating in the Gambling King Competition. However, even so, he only booked a presidential suite, which shows how popular the Gambling King Competition is.
"Brother Hao, you and Henry should live in the presidential suite."
Qin Feng shook his head, handed the room card to Henry Wei, and said: "I will live in the ordinary room below. I finally got out of the country. I can go out and walk around when I have nothing to do."
Qin Feng knew that although the MGM Hotel had more than 5,000 rooms, it only had 30 presidential suites and rarer villa rooms. Even though the daily cost was as high as more than 10,000 US dollars, during the Gambling King Competition, it was still
Supply exceeds demand.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Although Qin Feng has changed his appearance, he does not want to live in a ostentatious place like the presidential suite. He just heard Chen Shihao say that most of the people who usually live there are at the level of Arab crown princes.
"Okay, anyway, you won't take action in the knockout round, so I'll just let you be a secret agent."
Chen Shihao thought for a while and agreed. For him, Qin Feng was Henry's trump card in winning the title of gambling king, and it was indeed not appropriate to attract others' attention too early.
