Las Vegas, which has returned to normal business this week, will be hot. For the first time this year, the maximum temperature exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius) on Monday. In addition, it is scheduled to exceed 105 degrees (40.6 degrees) from today. Please enjoy the video that captured Super Moon last week in such hot Las Vegas.

From May 30th to June 1st, we held a 2 nights 3 days Grand Circle tour.
The customer was a family of five living in Chicago.
I received an application for a tour in March and participated in the hope of reopening Antelope Canyon, but unfortunately there is still no prospect of reopening.
Even so, everyone was impressed by the scenery of the Grand Circle that I saw for the first time.
On the first day, we will start sightseeing from Bryce Canyon. The park is very crowded due to the consecutive holidays on Memorial Day. It was difficult to find a parking lot for each tourist spot. After that, I saw Horseshoe Bend and finally watched the sunset at Lake Powell.
On the second day, I went sightseeing in Monument Valley (from the outside because the park was closed) and went sightseeing in the Grand Canyon until the sunset.
On the third day, we will see the sunrise in the Grand Canyon, then visit Sedna and then return to Las Vegas.
The weather was better than the best sightseeing day for 3 days, and we were able to make memories of American life on a chartered tour with 5 family members.
This time as well, I received a snapshot of the tour from my guide, so I will post it.

I participated in an event called "THE LIGHTS FEST" on Saturday, May 29th.
It is an event where a large number of lanterns are launched at night in the desert without lights.
The location was in a desert town called Littlefield, about an hour and a half drive northeast of Las Vegas. Two years ago, I participated in "RISE" for the first time as a couple at a similar event, but due to the influence of the wind, I had a hard time launching the lanterns, but the sight when the lanterns were launched all at once was wonderful, so next time I vowed to revenge to join the whole family.
However, last year's "RISE" event was canceled due to the influence of Corona.
And this time, I was able to launch a lantern with my family for the first time in two years.
Actually, this "THE LIGHTS FEST" was originally scheduled for May 1st, but the event was postponed yesterday due to the weather (wind).
On the day of the event, there was no wind and thin clouds appeared, so it was the best lantern launch event without worrying about the heat while waiting for the sunset. Many indoor and outdoor events were canceled due to the influence of Corona for a long time, so a surprisingly large number of people visited this event and were delighted with the launch of the lantern.
Many of the participants were like Las Vegas residents, but no one was wearing a mask because the event itself wasn't required to wear a mask, and only the time there was a complete time slip in front of Corona. was doing.
All of us in the family have been vaccinated, but the current Las Vegas vaccination rate is about 40%, so it can be a bit complicated to think that more than half of the people who gathered at the event are vaccinated. ..
America is likely to return to normal life as it is.
May 28th (Friday)
We held a day tour of the Grand Canyon.
It was the best weather unique to this time of year.
It was good because it wasn't crowded because it was the day before Memorial Day Weekend.
Sightseeing at Yavapai Point and Bright Angel Lodge.
All services are moving to normal in the Grand Canyon.
Yavapai Point Geology Museum This was also closed for a long time but opened the other day. Although it is open, there are still some parts of the models and exhibits that have a curtain. That's a shame.
The customer was stationed in Washington, DC and took a break during Memorial Week to come to Las Vegas.
Casinos seem to be fun in Las Vegas too!
A lot of money! I hope you win!
A two-day, one-night Grand Circle tour was held on May 25th and 26th.
This tour was a mixed ride, with a total of three people, a couple living in Berkeley and a male expatriate living in New York.
Unfortunately I couldn't see the sunset or sunrise in the Grand Canyon for two days, but I enjoyed all the views of Sedna, Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell.
Although it was a mixed ride, it was possible for customers to sit at a distance from each other even in the car with a small number of people, so we were able to participate with confidence.
Since June, masks will no longer be required in most places, so it may be necessary to update the policy for future mixed tours.
This time as well, I received a photo from the guide in charge that shows the situation at the site, so I will post it.
Following Bruno Mars (Park Theater) in July and Usher (Caesars Palace) in August, Las Vegas Residency performances are being announced more and more after the fall. Tickets for Lionel Richie (Win) in September, John Fogati (Win) in October, Celine Dion (Resort World) in November, and Shania Twain (Planet Hollywood) in December are already on sale.

We held a tour of the Grand Circle for 2 nights and 3 days from May 22nd to 24th.
The customer was a family of three who came to study abroad at a university in Boston for a year from a company working in Japan. Before returning to Japan, I took this tour to explore the wilderness of the United States.
The first day is a full day of sightseeing in Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, followed by Horseshoe Bend and finally Lake Powell's sunset viewing. There were too many tourists visiting Zion and Bryce Canyon, and the parking lot in the park was very crowded, so it was difficult to guide, but the weather itself was good and everything went smoothly.
On the second day, tour Monument Valley and watch the sunset at the Grand Canyon. It was a moving day to be able to slowly see the sun set on the horizon of the Grand Canyon at Yavapai Point.
On the third day, we canceled the early morning morning sun appreciation at the request of the customer, stopped by the Grand Canyon in the morning, and then went sightseeing in Sedna for a day.
The advantage of the chartered tour is that you can change the schedule flexibly according to your mood and physical condition!
I received a lot of good photos from the guide who was in charge of the tour this time as well, so I will carefully select and post 3 photos.

From May 22nd, we held a one-night, two-day tour.
The customer was a couple living in New Jersey.
On the first day, after sightseeing in Sedna, watch the sunset at the Grand Canyon.
On the second day, we will visit Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell after watching the Asahi at the Grand Canyon.
Unusually in this season, the Grand Canyon was as cold as winter and the lowest temperature was -4 ° C.
Although it was a sightseeing tour while enduring the cold in both the setting sun and the morning sun, the customers were very satisfied with the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon in good weather.
I will post a snapshot from the guide in charge this time as well.

From May 18th to 20th, we held a tour of the Grand Circle for 2 nights and 3 days.
The customer is a family of five living in Michigan from Japan, and came to see the spectacular view of the Grand Circle before returning to Japan next month.
Sightseeing in Sedna for one day on the first day and watching the sunset at the Grand Canyon at the end.
On the second day, watch the sunrise at the Grand Canyon, then go sightseeing in Monument Valley, Goosenecks State Park, Mexican Hat Rock, etc. and watch the sunset in Monument Valley.
On the third day, watch the Asahi in Monument Valley, then visit Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell before returning to Las Vegas.
On this tour, I stayed at THE VIEW HOTEL for the first time in Corona. The hotel has been reopened since last month, but since the Monument Valley Park is still closed, we will access the hotel by avoiding the barricade at the park entrance in front of the hotel, but the restaurant in the hotel Was closed and the Monument Valley Visitor Center next to the hotel was also inaccessible due to the barricade.
However, since all the rooms are very popular because you can see the view of Monument Valley in front of you, this time the guests were also very satisfied with the magnificent view from the rooms.
I will post a snapshot from the guide in charge this time as well.

Following the opening of the Caesars Palace Baccanaru Buffet yesterday, the MGM Grand Grand Buffet will open on May 26th. On the strip, MGM Grand will be the third opening after Cosmopolitan and Caesars. It seems that the buffets of each casino hotel will open, except where they will be closed, toward the normalization of 6/1.
Please watch the video of taking a walk in Venetian, which has the largest number of rooms in such a strip casino hotel ↓ ↓ ↓
