According to incomplete statistics, there are more than two hundred legal casinos in Las Vegas in this world. When Xiao Yao came to Las Vegas this time, it was almost impossible and he had no intention of going to all of the more than two hundred casinos at once.

It is already in the 20s of the 21st century, and the blackjack tables in many casinos have been replaced with turbo-dealing machines. Coupled with the size of the casinos, their location, surrounding environment, and security conditions, Xiao Before Yao came to Las Vegas this time, Yan Ke and others introduced him to only a dozen target casinos suitable for card counting. After getting to know Paula, the local gambling girl, and Charlie, the party planner, Xiao Yao's choice of target casinos has increased a little, but it has only increased to more than twenty.

Now Xiao Yao has been in the casino for nearly half a month. Except for the first day, there are at least two casinos and as many as three casinos every day. He has already been to these more than twenty casinos once. Two or three days ago I started to repeat the casinos I had been to before.

Although Xiao Yao's memory ability and mental arithmetic ability are stronger than those of Yan Ke and others, he does not need to be so concentrated and undivided when counting cards. His facial expressions and other external performances at that time seemed different from ordinary card counters, but he won a lot of money in the same casino twice, which inevitably attracted the attention of some casinos.

When he entered the casino in the last two days, especially when he started to win money in the later stage and the chips on the table piled up, Xiao Yao had already noticed that there were people in suits and uniforms with nameplates on their chests and earphones sitting next to them. The table watched him quietly.

This situation was actually expected by Xiao Yao. To be honest, it might be that Tim Haggis, who is obviously his companion but also loses money, is beside him. This kind of expected situation even came a little later than Xiao Yao expected. No matter what, as long as the casino didn't find him clearly, told him that he suspected card counting, and blacklisted him, Xiao Yao would just pretend that he didn't notice that the casino sent people to observe him secretly, and still acted in the casino according to the plan. Strange and strange novels|w~w~w.

Due to Amy Hatton's visit in the morning, Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis left the house a little later than expected today, but it had no effect on Xiao Yao's results today. In the evening, when Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis left the second casino, Xiao Yao once again earned nearly a million dollars in the two casinos.

Xiao Yao promised that Amy Hatton would go to the rehearsal of Nicky Thompson's performance, and the two of them would naturally not go to the third casino in the evening. Amy Hatton said that Nicky Thompson's rehearsal time is ten o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis don't need to worry. After the two left the casino, they went back to the hotel room to take a shower, changed their clothes, and then went to dinner in a relaxed manner.

In this way, the dinner time for the two of them was a little bit late. However, formal Western food takes a lot of time, but Tim Haggis is from the disciplined army, and Xiao Yao is from Huaxia. Sometimes he is particular about the food he eats, but he is not very particular about the eating procedure. The two big men are both more efficient people, and they eat relatively fast. The two of them had dinner and stayed in the restaurant for a coffee break when they received a call from Amy Hatton.

The place where Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis ate was the restaurant of the hotel where they were staying, and Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson also set off from the hotel to the theater where the awards ceremony was held. Well, meet in the hotel lobby and set off together.

The floor where the restaurant is located is relatively low, and the two of them were already ready to go out, so Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis first went to the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby to wait. However, when Amy Hatton called Xiao Yao, she was probably about to go out. Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis did not wait long before seeing Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson and his party The man came out of the elevator.

It wasn't just Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson who got out of the elevator, but five or six people. Nicky Thompson's rehearsal is a work schedule, and the people next to her should be her personal team members, assistants, makeup artists and other staff.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry to trouble you." Seeing Xiao Yao, Amy Hatton quickly walked forward and said, "I hope you can give us a good suggestion later."

"I just went to see the fun, so I may not be able to help you." Xiao Yao smiled.

"Yan, hello!" Nicky Thompson followed up and greeted Xiao Yao, looked at him and said, "I wonder if I can see your skills other than eloquence tonight?"

"I probably won't see it!" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "It's already the rehearsal stage, your performance should be a relatively mature performance, I don't think I can help you much. I promised Ms. Hatton to watch it You rehearse, not because I think I can help you, but I like to watch other people's rehearsals, and I think this is a very interesting thing."

"You~ hum!" Nicky Thompson snorted softly when he saw that Xiao Yao didn't accept the move.

"Let me introduce you!" Amy Hatton took over the conversation and briefly introduced Xiao Yao, Tim Haggis and the people who came behind. Those few people were indeed members of Nicky Thompson's private team.

People in Nicky Thompson's team have heard of Jan Shaw, and were surprised after hearing Amy Hutton's introduction. As for Tim Haggis, Amy Hutton did not reveal his occupation , only said that they were Xiao Yao's friends, but those people didn't care much.

"Let's go!" Nicky Thompson urged after Amy Hatton finished her introduction.

When everyone left the hotel gate, Nicky Thompson's nanny car and a car had already parked at the hotel gate. Nicky Thompson, Amy Hatton and a young assistant girl got into the nanny car, and the other three people, including the makeup artist carrying a makeup case, got into the car.

Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis naturally wouldn't get in Nicky Thompson's car. The two of them had rented a vehicle through the hotel during this time. There are some parking spaces on the ground next to the entrance of the hotel. The two of them knew that they were going to watch the rehearsal tonight. When they came back from the casino, they did not park their car in the underground parking lot, but parked in the ground parking space next to the entrance of the hotel. Nicky Thompson and others got into the car, while Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis got into their own car and drove behind the two cars.

The venue for the Billboard Awards this year is the theater at the MGM hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel is located in the center of Las Vegas, about ten minutes' drive from the Caesars Palace Hotel where Xiao Yao and others lived, not too close or too far. In addition, there is also a casino in this hotel. Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis have only been there a few days ago.

When he was about to arrive at the MGM Hotel, Xiao Yao, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, found media reporters waiting at the gate of the hotel.

The news about this year's Billboard Awards ceremony has already been announced. The time and place of the awards ceremony and most of the participating star guests are no secrets to media reporters. For some interested media reporters, it is not difficult to find out the rehearsal time. For entertainment reporters who want to dig more news, it is normal to record and report on the rehearsal, so it is not surprising that there are media reporters in this place.

"Tim, go to the underground parking lot. Let's take the underground passage and take the elevator directly in." Xiao Yao saw the two cars of Nicky Thompson and his party driving towards the hotel gate facing the media reporters, and turned to Tim Ha Jisdao, at the same time took out his mobile phone to send a message to Amy Hutton.

Regardless of whether the media reporters at the door were notified and arranged by the organizer or found by themselves, it is normal for stars participating in the rehearsal to walk through the door and show their faces in front of the reporters. It is unnecessary for people like Xiao Yao to watch the excitement I went to join in the fun in front of the reporters.

Tim Haggis drove the car into the hotel's underground parking lot, and together with Xiao Yao took the elevator to the floor where the hotel theater is located. Maybe the hotel didn't want to affect other hotel guests because of the awards ceremony, so only some reporters gathered at the hotel gate, and there were no reporters in the underground parking lot or the hotel's theater floor.

The two walked to the backstage entrance of the theater, and found the assistant girl who was in the same car with Nicky Thompson just now and a young man in a suit and uniform with earplugs in one ear, who looked like a hotel theater staff standing there. From the looks of it, Nicky Thompson and Amy Hatton should have already gone in, leaving this assistant here to wait for Xiao Yao and the others.

Seeing the two people appear, the assistant girl immediately waved her hand to greet them. When the two approached, the young man brought all three of them in.

Nicky Thompson's rehearsal time is around ten o'clock, and the group set off at nine o'clock, and it's not yet half past nine o'clock, and there is still more than half an hour before Nikki Thompson's rehearsal, so Nicky Thompson is now in In the lounge.

The young man led the three of them to the door of a room with Nicky Thompson's name written on the door, nodded to the three of them and left. The assistant girl knocked on the door, and without waiting for the person inside to open the door, she pressed the doorknob and pushed the door open, leading Xiao Yao and the two inside.

Xiao Yao walked in and found Nicky Thompson sitting in front of the dressing table, and her makeup artist was doing her makeup.

The so-called rehearsal was originally opera jargon, referring to the final general rehearsal of drama, dance, etc. before the official performance. The colorful characters refer to the rehearsal of costumes before the official performance of operas and dances. So to be correct, rehearsals are called rehearsals without costumes and makeup, and rehearsals are rehearsals with costumes and makeup.

However, with the wrong usage by some people, rehearsal has become the meaning of on-site rehearsal before the official performance in many people's perception, without the meaning of having to wear costumes and make-up, a theoretically incorrect "" The term "dress rehearsal with makeup" has replaced the original meaning of rehearsal.

When Amy Hatton communicated with Xiao Yao, they spoke English, so naturally such mistakes would not occur. What Amy Hatton told Xiao Yao was "Dress Rehearsal", which means the makeup rehearsal before the official performance. Since it is a makeup rehearsal, it is natural to need makeup and change of costumes.

Nicky Thompson saw Xiao Yao coming in from the mirror, and just raised his hand as a signal. Xiao Yao didn't bother her either, and smiled casually in response, and sat on the sofa in the lounge with Tim Haggis.

"Nicky, where is Amy?" the assistant girl stood beside Nicky Thompson and asked.

When she came in, she found that Amy Hatton was not in the lounge.

"I went to say hello to the band." Nicky Thompson said, "They have arrived, but there are too many of them, and they were arranged in another lounge. Amy said that she would go and have a look."

"Oh!" The assistant girl nodded.

"Excuse me, can I go to your band's lounge?" Xiao Yao suddenly raised his hand and asked.

"You hate me?" Nicky Thompson frowned.

"You're putting on makeup, so it's not very convenient to talk," Xiao Yao said, "I just think it's more fun to be with the band."

"Huh~" Nicky Thompson snorted again, and was about to speak when the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

It was Amy Hatton who came in.

Amy Hatton saw the two of Xiao Yao on the sofa, walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down, and said to Xiao Yao: "Mr. Xiao, you are here."

"Ms. Hatton," Xiao Yao said, "can you ask me, is there anyone rehearsing on the stage now, can I go to the auditorium of the performance hall to watch the rehearsal?"

"I invited you because..." Amy Hatton reminded.

"I know," Xiao Yao interrupted, "I came to see Miss Thompson's rehearsal, but she hasn't started the rehearsal yet, I'll go and see other people's first, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Xiao Yao felt that it was a bit boring to sit here and watch Nicky Thompson make up.

"Okay, let me ask for you." Amy Hatton hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Just as Amy Hatton was about to get up, there was a knock on the lounge door.

The assistant girl ran over to open the door. After opening the door, she was a little surprised to find a group of people standing outside the door.

Outside the door was a group of young men with colorful hair, all of whom looked like Asians. Among them, a slightly older young man in a suit who stood at the front said to the assistant girl in English: "Sorry to bother you, we want to visit Miss Thompson!"

"Huh?" The assistant girl turned to look at the manager Amy Hatton.

Amy Hatton got up and walked to the door to have a look. She first showed a puzzled expression, but quickly put it away, waved her hand as a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "Please come in!"

It seems that Amy Hatton knows the people outside, but doesn't understand why they are here.

People from outside came in, a total of eight young men. After entering, seven of them stood in a row, the one in the middle counted one, two, three, and then the seven bowed together: "Hi, we are BTBS!"

These seven people spoke English, but Xiao Yao felt a strong smell of kimchi. The kimchi taste that Xiao Yao feels does not just refer to the accent.

"Hi, I'm Nicky Thompson." Nicky Thompson stood up and smiled politely.

When these seven people came in, it was obviously different from when Xiao Yao came in just now, so Nicky Thompson's makeup artist had already stopped.

"Hi, I'm Nicky's manager, and my name is Amy Hatton!" Amy Hatton also said.

"Hello, I'm the manager of BTBS, and my name is John Lee!" said the slightly older man in a suit next to him, "I've heard of your name a long time ago, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Me too!" Amy Hatton nodded, then asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

BTBS is a Korean male idol group that has gained a lot of popularity in Europe and the United States in the past two years. They were nominated for the Billboard "Best Group" award last year. Although they didn't win in the end, Amy Hatton knew them. But what makes Amy Hatton feel strange is that those who were not nominated this year are just the guests of the ceremony. They were neither nominated nor performers. I don't know why they appear here tonight.
