This is paradise for the rich, and hell for the poor; it’s heaven for gamblers, but hell for those with bloodshot eyes from gambling.
Ye Qiu, Miranda, and Xia Jing headed towards a high-rise building in the MGM Plaza, ascending hundreds of meters by elevator to eat at a buffet.
A buffet priced at three thousand US dollars per person.
Exiting the elevator, when exchanging meal tickets at the reception, they found the dining tourists were not too many, perhaps due to the cost.
Led by a blonde in black stockings, the three were seated. At this buffet, you can either help yourself or have a waiter serve you, enjoying top-notch service and cuisine.
The environment is particularly elegant, and while seated, one can enjoy the night view of Las Vegas.
Situated in the heart of Las Vegas, one can see very far.
As Ye Qiu sat there, the waitress brought water for the three to wash their hands and face, followed by new napkins to dry their hands, before they could start enjoying the food.
When Miranda and Xia Jing went to get food, Ye Qiu requested the waitress to bring a glass of red wine.
High-end buffet restaurants generally have red wine available, but the quality varies.
She brought over a glass of French red wine; Ye Qiu had a taste and found it quite enjoyable.
When the two women returned with food, Miranda already knew Ye Qiu’s taste for seafood, which was abundant here. She first brought him a piece of roasted cod, golden brown.
Ordinary cod slices aren’t too expensive, maybe around a few dozen Huaxia Yuan.
However, those are usually frozen for long periods.
Here, cod slices are freshly caught and brought over alive before being sliced and roasted; Ye Qiu took a bite and found it tender and smooth, free from any fishy taste.
This could be served as a fish steak.
Still, there were many options here, and each could be tried.
Of course, you couldn’t recoup the three thousand US dollars through eating alone; it’s really about enjoying the environment and cuisine offered here.
Moreover, for Ye Qiu, this amount of money is insignificant.
From six in the evening until after eight, the three were quite full.
Though there was no time limit, you couldn’t consume too much, especially Xia Jing, whose food intake might not have exceeded a hundred US dollars.
Nonetheless, the ambiance and exterior night view felt exceptional.
After resting here, Ye Qiu planned to visit the casino.
Ye Qiu had been to the Nassau Casino in Panama and to illegal casinos in Huaxia, so now he planned to check out the Las Vegas casino.
This was indeed his primary purpose for coming here.
They left the buffet restaurant.
Then headed to the MGM Plaza casino.
This casino is reputedly the largest in Las Vegas.
Upon entering, Ye Qiu saw many people of different races — blacks, whites, and notably many Asians, predominantly of Asian descent.
Women’s presence was even more noteworthy.
Inside, there were many gambling devices.
The casino facilities included automated options, like slot machines, a main hall, and private VIP, and luxury rooms.
Essentially, it wasn’t much different from other casinos, though it appeared more populous here.
When Ye Qiu brought Miranda and Xia Jing inside, aside from the atmosphere seeming a bit frantic, everyone seemed absorbed by the gambling devices.
They could observe first, then play.
Ye Qiu took Miranda with him, Xia Jing watched nearby, as they surveyed the surroundings.
The slot machines were numerous, though the betting amounts weren’t incredibly high; the maximum bet could reach ten thousand US dollars before having to look elsewhere for higher stakes.
The main hall baccarat tables focused on betting sizes and points primarily.
After a circuit around, Ye Qiu looked at Miranda and asked, "Miranda, how do you find it?"
"Those people are quite crazy," Miranda replied.
Many entering here simply couldn’t restrain themselves.
Some began by winning and wanted more.
More often, those who lost sought a comeback.
No matter how much money they brought, it wasn’t enough to stay here.
That’s precisely why this place became heavily infiltrated by Mafia Organizations; many casinos were affiliated with the Mafia.
When gamblers lost, the Mafia could offer stakes, but those were undoubtedly akin to high-interest loans.
Ye Qiu led Miranda to the front desk and first exchanged one hundred thousand US dollars for gambling chips.
These chips were each worth ten thousand US dollars.
Approaching the slot machines, Ye Qiu, having previously played and knowing these involved probabilities and could be manipulated.
He knew he could use Spiritual Energy to control it.
Xia Jing hadn’t seen Ye Qiu play before.
She was unsurprised now that Ye Qiu dared to engage in it.
Ye Qiu inserted a chip, then manipulated the slot machine lever up and down, left and right; Xia Jing, beside him with Miranda, watched Ye Qiu continuously maneuvering, while there were instructions nearby. Nevertheless, the outcomes generally leaned towards losing.
Ye Qiu manipulated the lever; the slot machine pointer spun swiftly, and once it halted, the corresponding icons determined the winnings.
Odds of one, two, even up to ten times existed.
However, for greater wins, odds were smaller.
Thus, gamblers were drawn by the odds, eagerly trying their luck, though in truth, win probabilities were inherently low, compounded by manipulated machines, making it hard to win.
Left unchecked, Ye Qiu would certainly lose, risking his entire money stash.
Nonetheless, Ye Qiu was different now, able to use Spiritual Energy to manipulate the pointer.
During the first slot machine spin, he lost ten thousand US dollars.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Miranda thought it was a pity.
Xia Jing merely observed; for Ye Qiu, ten thousand US dollars was just play money.
But as Ye Qiu lost thrice, Xia Jing felt further play was wasteful and suggested trying somewhere else.
"Why don’t we play somewhere else?" Xia Jing suggested.
Ye Qiu glanced at her without comment.
Initially, there were others watching, but they left upon seeing Ye Qiu continually losing.
