兩國三州遊記 Part 2

開始我的兩國三州之旅 -- 沙漠篇

April 21

第一站 - Long Beach, CA

Finally got back to land. We were suppose to be disembarked at 7:30am but we were delayed for 3 hours because the stupid immigration were taking their time to process each party. They asked each person at least 2-3 questions which takes like 5-10 mins to process one party.

My parents wanted to visit one of our relative who lives in LA before we headed to LV. So we stayed in Montery Park in the morning and headed to LV in the afternoon

第二站 - Las Vegas, NV
We got to LV around 4pm. They wouldn't let me use the trick to get a better room this time as they claimed we won't be spending time in the room. I never knew that Vegas could be so empty on Monday. We hardly see any cars on the strip. We can park/turn anywhere on the strip at anytime. This is something that you won't see in the peak season. We went to Makino Seafood Restaurant for dinner. I have been trying to find a replacement ever since my favorite Japanese restaurant was sold to Korean. Someone mentioned this restaurant as a "good Japanese" place as it is owned by founder of Todai. I have to say, they do have better quality than Todai, but the food are still not the best. They have lots of choices in sushi, the fish are good, but let's say I have tasted better (I guess I get spoiled by Sushi Sam already). One of the dish that I really like is their Udon. The soup tasted so good that it makes you feel like you are eating authentic Udon in Japan. Oh yeah, their red bean ice cream is really Japanese like too.

Return to LV in the evening after the trip to Grand Canyon. We went to Wynn for buffet this time (trying out something different). Their food choices are different from Paris and PH. They are more European/Westernize, like you'll find anchovies in their salad section. One of the dessert that they have is Green Tea mouse with a small piece of gold on the top
