Speaker 1
Hello Thomas, have you traveled to any where new lately?
Speaker 2
Hi Many, haven't heard from you in a while! Recently haven't been doing as much traveling but I've been trying to pick up some French and have been watching a lot of French films recently.
Speaker 1
That sounds like a lot of fun! Do you have any recommendations for some good French films.
Speaker 2
I really like the film Les Quatre Cents Coups, I am hoping to travel where it was filmed sometime this summer. What about you? Have you moved any where new since we last spoke?
Speaker 1
I'll have to check that one out sometime. I haven't gone anywhere new recently, but I started planning a trip to Nevada in a few days. If I like it, I could end up moving there sometime soon.
Speaker 2
That's awesome! I was really interested in casino architecture in college so I got to study Las Vegas and Carson City a lot. I hear it's super pretty, lots of vibrant colors.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I am so exited! You should go sometime. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check out the Vegas strip well I'm there. I also plan on doing some camping out in the desert and doing some star gazing.
Speaker 2
Oh that's going to be amazing the stars are gonna be so clear. Especially in a new place like that, you'll be able to see whole new constellations.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I want to move there. I would also love to try and get a job in astronomy since there are so many good institutions in Nevada. Plus, who doesn't want to go UFO hunting.
Speaker 2
Ooh, I hope you do get a job at observatory down there that would be so cool! I will have to come check it out sometime.
Speaker 1
Absolutely! I could show you some constellations with my new telescope I just got.
Speaker 2
I'll have to plan a trip down there once it cools off a little.

Speaker 1
I finally made plans for my Nevada trip. Want to hear about it?
Speaker 2
You did. Please tell me more. I want to know all the details.
Speaker 1
I plan on leaving this weekend. We are going to go to Vegas and also go hiking. 
Speaker 2
That sounds like a lot of fun. How many days are you going for?
Speaker 1
We are thinking of staying for 3 weeks maybe. But we will be there for 2 at the most. I am hoping I can win some money while in Vegas, but also can't wait to see the shows.
Speaker 2
That will be amazing to be in Vegas for 2 or even 3 weeks. Sounds like so much fun. Do you already have your room and stuff booked?
Speaker 1
Yes, we booked it last night. Plus already have tickets to 3 different shows. We are going to go see Brittany.
Speaker 2
That sounds amazing. Wish I could join. Maybe next time. Who is all going with you?
Speaker 1
We can use another person if you want to go. Make things cheaper for all of us as then we can split it 4 ways instead of 3. We got a group package and it has tickets for at least 5 people. We were going to sell the other ones.
Speaker 2
Yes that would be amazing. I would love to go. Where should I meet you at?
Speaker 1
I can come pick you up the night before and you can stay at my house. We are getting a big van so we can all ride together. You will owe $300 for you part of the tickets. And of course you have to buy your own meals. We will take turn paying for gas.
Speaker 2
Okay, that sounds good. Do you want cash or cash app? Either is fine with me. I am so excited to go. It is going to be so much fun.

Speaker 1
Our trip starts tomorrow! I will be there later today to pick you up so we can get on the road! Do not forget your tickets are paid for, I'll send your confirmation numbers to you. Also we are splitting gas, and do not forget bring money for anything you may want to eat or buy while we are there! See you soon!
Speaker 2
Sounds good! Do you have a suggestion on how much money I will need to bring? Are we planning any special restaurants to visit that might be more expensive then I should expect?
Speaker 1
I don't have any special restaurants in mind, but I was about to ask you the same question, since you spent all that time in Nevada while in college. 
Speaker 2
Well, one of my favorite restaurants is in Vegas. It's called Lotus of Siam. Its not super expensive. I would say its about 25 dollars a plate. Do you like oriental foods? I think its technically considered fusion. 
Speaker 1
Yes, that sounds good. Is it a buffet? I've got to sample some of those famous Las Vegas buffets. lol!
Speaker 2
Its not a buffet. This is a sit down restaurant and the last time I was there they didn't take reservations because they are so popular. They close between Lunch and Dinner to prep for each meal. So, we will have to get there about 30 minutes before they open. It is worth every minute though. It will blow your socks off compared to the buffet line.
Speaker 1
We can pretend to be senior citizens trying to take advantage of early bird hours. LOL! That sounds good. I love trying new food, so I'm game! Are you going to gamble much?
Speaker 2
I think I will. How much money do you think I should bring for gambling?
Speaker 1
I've been saving up, so I'm going to bring about $1,000. I like to play blackjack and poker. 
Speaker 2
Alright. I'll bring $1,000 for gambling as well. I'm really excited for the trip and I'm going to go ahead and pack those tickets right now so I don't forget to bring them.
Speaker 1
Good man!  After all, if we lose too much money, we can always just sleep in the van. lol!
Speaker 2
Oh my! I guess I should also pack a sleeping bag then.

Did you get $1000 for tomorrow?
Speaker 2
yeah, I've got the money. I'm really looking forward to this trip. What buffet are we going to first?
Speaker 1
The Bacchanal at Caesar's Palace will be the first one-they have an amazing strip steak, roasted chicken, and the desserts are out of this world!
Speaker 2
that sounds incredible, I hope you're feeling hungry! Is there anything else you'd like to do in vegas while we aren't gambling or eating?
Speaker 1
I was thinking about having a party. I know people there, and a wicked DJ. We could get some live shows or go to a rock concert!
Speaker 2
I'm always up for a party sounds good to me! I think it would be bad if we didn't go and get our pictures taken at the famous sign as well
Speaker 1
Yes, the sign, and the Grand Canyon is only 2hrs away, so we can stop there as well! Also, the Venetian has unique architecture for you to enjoy, and we could ride a Gondola!
Speaker 2
grand canyon looks class, always wanted to go there. My uncle recommended taking the helicopter ride over the canyon, so if we do well in the casinos we could do that
Speaker 1
Yes, and if we lose, we can pretend we're a poor, starving, arts major, and go to the art district-I saw some really kickass designs last time I was there!
Speaker 2
sounds like the perfect plan! Are you bringing your telescope? surely you'd get a good look at the stars when we're out at night in the desert 
Speaker 1
I will bring my smaller one-the desert sky is very clear, and it has some amazing views! You can see the planets and parts of the galaxy very well through the crystal clear sky, but we have to be away from the light pollution in the city. We should see the Hoover dam too!
Speaker 2
excellent, I'd be really interested to learn some more from you about astronomy! And in return I can try and give you some insight into the construction of the dam
