If anyone plans on visiting Las Vegas, be sure to check out Chinatown.
Chinatown here is huge, and it goes on for miles. I went to Tea Planet
today. (Somehow they also go under the name "Tea Station"). I tried a
meal and a hot tea. The food wasn't bad. I'd say average. And the tea
wasn't bad either. Also average. And the service was ok too - also
average. And that was during the slow time.

Service could be better with the hot tea though. They brew the tea in
a teapot and they give you a small cup. It would be better if they
gave you an extra teapot to let you pour the tea off after it's
finished steeping. I had to drink over-steeped tea that was bitter and
astringent. But they kept topping off the teapot - so that made it
less astringent - but still. Oh well.

I didnt know that. Where is Chinatown in relation to the Strip. Ive
never dropped a nickel in Lost Wages. I did enjoy tipping for the good
seats now it is luck of the draw tickets. You want to see bizarre.
Wendover is in Utah. West Wendover is in Nevada. On the Nevada side
it is a mini Reno. On the Utah a ghost town. Ive witnessed this
transformation driving to California the past thirty years. Just
recently one of the newest big buildings in WW is social services.
When driving to MN Id travel through the Rosebud Indian Reservation in
SD. Absolutely no light pollution. You were surrounded by stars
horizon to horizon. Now you can see the Casino a 100 miles away and
hopefully you dont become a hood ornament on a bus.

It's just about 5 minutes from the Strip on Spring Mountain Road.
There are all kinds of strip malls and it just goes on and on. They're
all fairly newly built. The first mall opened in 1995.

I usually fly into LV and walk the Strip never needing a car. Thats
the way it is here strip malls of Chinese shops but theyre really run
down. Im getting decent on the push pedal. Hopefully I can find a
place to rent a bike. You got me looking forward to it.

PS You can say what you want about tea blossom taste but they all use
nipped green bud.
