Recently, the record heat in Arizona has been covered in Japanese online news, and people are happy, saying, "Oh! Phoenix is ​​famous now!" But, well, if it's hot enough to be on the news, it's not the time to be happy, Mrs. Wow, it's so hot that even falling over would cause severe burns. The temperature is about 45 degrees almost every day, and it's hot, but apparently the temperature on the road can reach 80 degrees if you're not careful. By the way, if a heat source of 70 degrees or more touches the skin, it seems that the destruction of skin tissue begins in just one second. Ah, no... If you fall on the road and put your hands on it, your palms will be burned in an instant, and if you try to stand up and struggle, you'll seriously get a burn. Good luck, good luck. Good luck. ...And since it's so hot every day, I sometimes go to the pool after dark, but other than that I basically live an indoor life.

When I want to go for a walk I go to an indoor shopping mall, which is sad.

I wonder if they'll build an indoor park or something?

I wish there was a place where I could go for a walk or exercise all year round without worrying about the temperature or weather.

Well, unfortunately there isn't such a place, so yesterday I changed things up a bit and went to a certain place for the first time.

As for where it is...

Oh...I can't tell at all from this photo...

Actually, this is a casino.

When you think of casinos, you think of Las Vegas, but there are also some casinos in Arizona run by Native Americans.

(Regarding casinos and gambling, the laws vary from state to state, and I think only Native Americans can operate casinos in Arizona.)

My husband and I have no interest in gambling, but it's spacious, cool, and has a resort feel, so we decided to drop by.

It's a casino resort called Talking Stick in Scottsdale, and from the outside it looks retro, so I didn't have high expectations...

The inside was much nicer than I expected.

There's apparently a high-end restaurant on the roof, but it's reservation-only.

There are hardly any tall buildings, so you can see a view like this from the restaurant:

(The above two photos are also from the internet)

Oh, that's nice, that's nice.

By the way, my husband, who has the special skill of quickly becoming friends with anyone, quickly became friends with the concierge at this resort hotel and chatted with him for a while.

The concierge said that the rib-eye steak at this restaurant was the best steak he had ever eaten.

I definitely want to try it!

Oh, by the way, when I checked the menu later, the price of the rib-eye steak was $77.

About a little over 10,000 yen at today's exchange rate.

No, if it wasn't delicious, I wouldn't forgive it, seriously.

But, I'd like to go someday.

Just like Las Vegas, even if you're not interested in gambling, it's fun to go to restaurants, resort pools, concerts, shows, or even just to cool off like us (lol).
