MGM Resorts has lifted the obligation to wear masks for vaccinated employees at its Las Vegas affiliates (Bellagio, Aria, ParKMGM, MGM Grand, Mirage, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay). A procedure is required to send the vaccination certificate to the company. At casinos and retail stores (supermarkets, stores), the obligation to wear masks for customers was lifted, but the obligation for employees to wear masks continued.

On Sunday, May 16th, we held a day tour of the Grand Canyon.
The customer is 8 people from 2 families (from VELTRA), and I came to study abroad at the University of Chicago from a company that works in Japan and lives in Chicago. I will return to Japan next month, so I visited the Grand Canyon before that. It was a group.
Since the couple had four small children, the vehicle was completely reserved due to the corona disaster, so I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind without having to worry about other customers.
The highest temperature in the Grand Canyon today is 20 degrees Celsius, which has been cool and cheerful these days.
I've also received a snapshot of today's Grand Canyon from my guide, so I'll post it.
The NFL's Las Vegas Raiders have announced this year's match schedule. The first match will be against Baltimore Ravens on 9/13, starting from the home of the Allegiant Stadium. The stadium was completed last year, and since last season was all unattended games, it will be the first time for customers to enter the stadium this year.
So, here is a video of a walk from Luxor to Allegiant Stadium ↓ ↓ ↓

We started a one-night tour from May 10th.
I will post the tour report and photos from the guide I was in charge of.
On the first day of this tour, we went sightseeing in the Grand Canyon and then stayed in Sedna. In Sedna, there are many days to watch the sunset and the starry sky.
On the second day, enjoy your free time in the morning with yoga, hiking and shopping in Sedna, then the ghost town of Jerome and the former Arizona capital of Priscott. And "Watson Lake" sightseeing.
In addition, while traveling, we will pass through the colony of Arizona's famous "Saguaro Cactus", so we will take a commemorative photo with a huge cactus.
This customer is a couple who are stationed in New York, and they participated as a commemorative trip before returning to Japan in the summer after completing their five-year stay.
Of course, you enjoyed the main Grand Canyon and Sedna of the tour, but there was also a gap in the scenery with the NY where you live in the scenery where the "Saguaro cactus (giant cactus)" that you stopped by at the end unexpectedly grows. It seems that the tension was rising at the beginning of this trip.
I will also post some photos from my guide.

On Thursday, May 6th, I went to Sedna for a new project of bear trip.
Although it was not as crowded as it was before the summer vacation, the liveliness before Corona was completely restored.
AIRPORT MESA, RED ROCK CROSSING, BELL ROCK, UPTOWN, etc. are all full of parking lots, and only Sedona seems to be a tourist destination where the economy has improved in Corona.
In fact, according to the Sedona Tourism Board, the number has hardly decreased last year compared to 2019, when the number of people was the highest ever, and since the beginning of this year, the sales record of the same month in the past has been updated every month. It seems that the local residents are constantly complaining to the city of Sedona due to the congestion.
For residents, it takes more than twice as long to move as usual due to worsening traffic congestion, illegal parking on the streets increases due to lack of parking lots on trails and tourist spots, and problems with tourist manners such as dumping garbage. While I am happy to be busy as a tourist destination, many problems seem to be piled up.
Accommodations in Sedona now have no group guests at all, and reservations can be made by individual guests who can afford it, if not wealthy, so the average nightly rate is $ 300- $ 400 a day. There are many, and this is also the highest ever.
Due to lack of accommodation, apartments in the city have been transformed into hotels, housing has become AIR B & B, and the housing of people working in Sedna is being lost and rents are rising, and it is also a big problem that there are not enough workers. It seems that it is.
As the United States enters summer vacation from the end of this month, tourism demand in Sedona will increase even further.
Las Vegas is returning to normal business. The new Caesars Palace buffet will resume operations from May 20th. It is said that more than 30 new menus will be introduced. Since the end of March last year, all the buffets have been closed by Corona, and the two buffets currently reopening in Las Vegas are South Point and Cosmopolitan. Caesars Palace is the third.

Summer farmers markets have begun in seven locations in Vancouver. From June 2nd, it will also be held every Wednesday from 2 to 6 pm at the Downtown Art Gallery North Square. There is a limit on the number of people, but seniors and those with a high risk of infection can enter with priority 30 minutes earlier than the general public ☆

Since there is concern that the new coronavirus will be transmitted through banknotes and coins, cashless payments have been fully introduced in the farmers market since last year. Both credit cards and bank debit cards are touch payments. You can go out with just a card and a mobile phone in your pocket without having any cash ♪
The Grand Canyon National Park has announced new guidelines for operating tours, which will take effect on May 8.
Currently, there is a limit on the number of people to tour in Grand Canyon National Park, and only 10 people including drivers and guides can board one bus, but from Saturday all passengers have been vaccinated. If there is evidence that the corona test result is negative within 72 hours, 100% boarding is permitted.
Even if the above proof is not obtained from all passengers, 50% of passengers or up to 10 passengers are allowed.
Until now, many bus companies have canceled the tour because less than 10 passengers could be taken on the tour regardless of the size of the vehicle, but the number of domestic tourists visiting Las Vegas is increasing. In addition to this, with this change in rules, I think that the Grand Canyon sightseeing tours to and from Las Vegas will be resumed all at once.
Disneyland in California has reopened, and tourist destinations in the United States are returning to normal for the summer vacation.
Corona vaccines have been available to the general public on Tuesday at 50 Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in Nevada. If you can afford it, you can inoculate without reservation. J & J, Pfizer, and Moderna vaccines are available. A GOTV campaign recommending vaccination has also started. Employees will be given three days of paid leave after vaccination.
The vaccination barrier is gradually getting lower, and Las Vegas is planning to return the casino to normal business from June. The show, a symbol of entertainment, will be back in July.
