It's been almost a year since Las Vegas locked down.
With the deregulation of Corona, people are returning to the city in the spring weather.
It's a refreshing spring, when you want to go out.
Sedna is wonderful, isn't it?
Please enjoy the video of taking an aura photo with such Sedna.

Starting this weekend, a major event called MARCH MADNESS TOURNAMENT will be held as scheduled to determine the national college basketball champion.
It is an annual event at this time of year, but last year the entire process of the event was canceled just before the event, which triggered most of the sporting events to be canceled or postponed.
I think it's a college basketball tournament, but it's a big event that sports fans all over the United States are enthusiastic about.
Sports gambling is allowed in many states in the United States, and it is said that 50 million people bet money and watch games at this event every year.
Speaking of sports betting, casinos here in Las Vegas are home to many fans during these events, staying at casino hotels and betting money on games to watch TV.
The casino hotel in Las Vegas, which has been struggling to manage for the past year in Corona Whirlpool, seems to be expecting a considerable number of people, as the room charge for this weekend is the high season price before Corona.
If you notice, the season is also spring.
Is it the arrival of spring in the city of Las Vegas?
The casino hotel Cosmopolitan Hotel Buffet Wickid Spoon along the Las Vegas Strip will reopen on March 25th. Originally, the buffet is a style where you go to get as much as you like, but the waiter serves it. At the casino hotels along the strip, the Win Hotel has temporarily reopened in this way, but there are currently no open buffets on the strip. Only South Point Casino & Hotel, about 15 minutes drive south of the Strip, was reopening its buffet.

The tour that started on Monday returned to Las Vegas yesterday, and I will post a wonderful photo of Monument Valley from my guide.

The customer this time was a young couple and a baby living in Alabama.
At the beginning of the application, it seems that there were many anxieties such as traveling for a long time because there was a baby, but as a result, I did not get mixed with other customers, so I did not care about others and watched the baby. I was very happy to be able to enjoy sightseeing freely.
Even if the tour comes out for a while, it is unlikely that it will be mixed, so I think that you will be able to receive the same service as the charter.
This is also a privilege of the Corona Whirlpool!
If you are a family with small children who cannot usually take part in the tour easily, or if you are a physically handicapped person, why not take this opportunity to visit the Grand Circle?
On Wednesday, March 10th, we held a one-day sightseeing tour of the Grand Canyon today.
In fact, the third installment of "Kuma Journey" or "I'm going on a graduation trip instead of you!" Was also held at the same time, and three human customers and three teddy bears were mixed.
The weather forecast hit, and today's Grand Canyon was windy and snowstormed from time to time, making it a rather cold sightseeing.
However, despite such bad weather, a large number of tourists were visiting, and I was surprised that there were more people than this time of the year.
Nowadays, MLB (Major League Baseball) spring camps and open games are held every day in the United States, and half of the MLB teams visit the camp here in Arizona. Professional baseball fans from all over the United States are coming to see the open game.
Perhaps I'm also visiting the Grand Canyon.
The photos I will post today are
Mather Point in the Grand Canyon is full of tourists.

Seligman (Route 66) stopped by on the way.
According to the latest announcement from Nevada, the number of people infected with corona was 325 a day and 13 people died. With the number gradually decreasing, we plan to gradually lower the age of vaccination mass inoculation.

On Monday, March 8th, a two-night, three-day tour was held.
On the first day of the same tour as last week, I enjoyed sightseeing in Sedona and watching the sunset at the Grand Canyon.
The temperature has risen for the past few days and it has been quite warm and cheerful during the day, but it seems that cold waves are coming in again, and snow forecasts have been issued for four consecutive days from tomorrow.
The Grand Canyon is over 2,000 meters above sea level and it is not uncommon for it to snow in March.
I used to be hit by snow during Golden Week.
Originally, there is a big difference in temperature during the day, so if you stay in the Grand Canyon, you will need to take measures against the cold throughout the year, so be sure to check the temperature before you go out!
I will post a photo of the Grand Canyon from my guide this time as well.

[Empire State Building, 90 years old this year! ]
The Empire State Building is one of New York's leading buildings and a standard tourist attraction. The name of the building, the Empire State, is also another name for New York State (Empire State), and it can be said that it is a building that truly symbolizes New York.
This Empire State Building is celebrating its 90th birthday this year. It was completed on May 1, 1931. Despite the Great Depression in 1929, it is still reported as a surprising fact that the construction was completed in 1 year and 45 days and the 102-story building was completed (about 400 m).
The building that was built with much effort was not filled with tenants after that, and it was also called Empty Building (empty building) ironically.
The observation decks on the 86th and 102nd floors are popular with tourists. When it's crowded, you can line up for three hours before you reach the observatory. The view from the observatory is exceptional. When the visibility is good, you can see up to about 100km away.
As long as the Empire State Building seen from the outside is beautiful. Not only in Manhattan, but also in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Empire State Building on the other side of the neighboring state of New Jersey.
The Empire State Building is lit up in different colors for events and holidays (usually white lights).
You can check the color of the light up on the official website (↓).
https://www.esbnyc.com/…
The business hours of the observatory within the year from March 1, 2021 are as follows.
March 1-13: 12PM-9PM
March 14-28: 1PM-10PM
March 29th-April 11th: 11AM-11PM
April 12th-June 30th: 1PM-10PM
July 1st-November 24th: 11AM-11PM
November 25-28: 9AM-12AM
December 1-16: 11AM-11PM
December 17th-31st: 9AM-12AM
* May change in the future
Monument Valley, a tourist destination that represents the Grand Circle, is located in the Native American and Navajo reservations. The park is still closed due to the influence of the corona. The photo shows a teardrop-shaped teardrop arch located outside the park and still available for sightseeing. I hope that the vaccine will spread and the park will open as soon as possible.
The US federal government has decided on the allocation of coronavirus to each state based on the estimated population of the census.
The Census Bureau updated the data at the end of the year after the allocation was decided, arguing that Nevada's population is growing at a rate more than three times the national average, which is the reason for the lack of vaccine allocation.
I hope that the vaccine will be available to everyone in Nevada as soon as possible.
Please enjoy the current state of Route 66, which is called the Mother Road in the United States, with a video.
