The Flamingo Hotel / フラミンゴホテル

From the airport it was straight to our hotel. The Flamingo on the Strip, right across the street from Caesar's Palace and the Bellagio. My sister will be having her wedding at the Garden Chapel located inside the hotel grounds.

空港から直行ホテル行き。泊まるところはフラミンゴ。場所はあの有名で呼ばれてるストリップ。向かいにはシーザズ・パレスと今超高級ホテルのベラジオ。妹の結婚式はフラミンゴにあるガーデンチャッペルで行う。

Once we were inside the Flamingo, we had the good fortune of running into my parents. We went to the front together to request a room on the same floor. My parents and other relatives were all on the 9th floor and fortunately, there was a room available along the same corridor. Once we checked in, it was like walking through a maze to even get to our room.

ホテルに着いたら、偶然に自分の両親とばっちり会った。一緒にフラントまで行って、同じ階の部屋を頼んでみた。良かったことに同じフロアで同じ側に部屋を取りました。でも、部屋までたどり着くのは、迷路みたいな感じでした。

Just to give you an idea of how huge these hotels our, check out this picture. If you look closely, you will notice Mikako way in the back.

このホテルはどの位の大きさを感じさせる為、こゆう写真も撮りました。良く見れば、ちっちゃく写ってる人影が美香子です。

Perhaps most of you know the history of the Flamingo. It was built by Bugsy Siegel and was the hotel that was featured in the movie, "Casino". Out in the garden is a monument to Bugsy which I don't intend to translate into Japanese because it would take too long, so I apologize in advance to my Japanese readers.

フラミンゴの歴史知ってるかも知れませんが、あのマフィアのバグジーシーガルが作ったホテル。映画「カシノ」でも紹介された。庭の中にバグジーの記念碑がある。文書が長いので、日本人の読者に申し訳ございませんが、記念碑に書かれてることは訳しません。

And you wouldn't want to call your hotel the Flamingo without real flamingoes.

で、フラミンゴを名づけて、本物のフラミンゴがないと。。。

This is where my sister is getting married.

ここが妹の式場だ。

Although we were in Vegas for my sister's wedding, it's still felt like a honeymoon as well.

妹の為にベガスに居るけど、結構新婚旅行で来てる感じもあった。

And to call it an evening, how about a nice night view of our hotel.

And finally a view from our room.
