おもちゃの鉄砲とかペイントボールぐらいなら撃ったことあるんですが、本物の鉄砲を撃つのは実は私も初めて。こういう事に関しては意外とびびりーなのでそこにある一番小さい9ミリの鉄砲を撃たせてもらいました。<br />
<br />

ダウンタン・ラスベガスとはまったく雰囲気が違くて。。。<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>ラスベガス市内にいるだけでカルチャーショック!!</b></span><br />
<br />
このVenitianホテルはイタリアのベネチアをテーマとしたラスベガスでも有名なホテル・カジノ・ショッピングモールで、元々ここのホテルに泊まろうか考えてましたが。。。ホテルの部屋があまりにも高くて断念。(涙)<br />

このVenitianはベネチアに行ったかのような錯覚を感じてしまいますが(実際にベネチアに行ったAちゃんはそうでもないって言ってた)、ちょっと歩き回ってたら。。。お腹いっぱいで疲れてるのか、寝不足でツライのか分からないけど疲れた。(笑)<br />
<br />
<br />
という事で次の場所へ移動。<br />
<br />
思ってた以上に楽しかったです。。。が、やはりびびりーな性格なので怖かったっす。<br />
<br />
<br />
とりあえず射撃場で楽しんだ後はホテルのチェックインができる時間になってたので今晩の宿泊先のLuxor Hotelに向かいました。<br />

<br />
正直、この日のホテルはこのスフィンクスの顔を見て決めました。。。というのはウソで実はずっとピラミッドのホテルに泊まりたかったんです。それもまたどうでもいい話なんですが。ま、でもあまり高くなくそこそこいいホテルだったのは確かです。<br />
<br />
ちなみにこのLuxor Hotelはラスベガスストリップの一番南の方にあってストリップの中心までは結構距離があるので、ストリップを歩き回りたい人にはちょっとオススメできないかな。<br />
<br />
<br />
で、チェックインを済ませたあとにまたまた向かったのは。。。<br />

この2ヒンジアーチ橋は、チャールズ・C・シュナイダーとヴィルヘルム・ヒルデンブランドが設計し、ユニオンブリッジ社、ウィリアム・J・マカパイン、セオドア・クーパー、デレモス&コードスが設計を修正し、エドワード・H・ケンダルがコンサルタント建築家として参加しています。この橋は、2つの510フィート(160m)の主アーチと石造りのアプローチからなる鋼鉄アーチ構造です。橋はニューヨーク市交通局によって運営・維持されています。かつては米国国道1号線が通っていたが、現在はアレキサンダー・ハミルトン橋を通っている。ワシントン橋はニューヨーク市ランドマーク保存委員会から市のランドマークに指定され、国家歴史登録財に登録されている。
ワシントン橋は1860年代から計画されていたが、さまざまな論争で20年間進展が遅れていた。1885年の建築設計コンペで最終案が選ばれ修正され、1886年7月に工事が開始された。1888年12月には通行証のある歩行者が橋を利用できるようになり、翌年にはワシントン橋は通常の通行に使われるようになったが、正式な開通式は行われなかった。ワシントン橋の完成時には、ニューヨークの建築の成果として広く賞賛された。自動車が橋を使えるようになったのは、1906年以降である。1931年にハドソン川にかかるジョージ・ワシントン橋が完成して西のニュージャージーと結ばれると、ハーレム川を渡る橋はニュージャージーとブロンクスを結ぶ交通のコネクターとして機能するようになった。1963年にアレクサンダー・ハミルトン橋が完成し、ワシントン橋から交通が迂回するようになった。ワシントン橋は老朽化が進み、1989年から1993年にかけて改築が行われた。<br /></span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p></span></div>

RFK橋は有料橋で、州間高速道路278号線(I-278)と標識のない高速道路ニューヨーク州道900G号線が通っています。マンハッタンのFDRドライブとハーレム・リバー・ドライブ、ブロンクスのブルックナー高速道路(I-278)とメジャーディーガン高速道路(州間高速道路87)、クイーンズのグランドセントラルパークウェイ(I-278)とアストリアブルバードとつながっている。
RFKブリッジ群の3つの主要な橋は以下の通りである。
ハーレム川にかかる世界最大の垂直リフト橋で、マンハッタン島とランドールズ島を結ぶ(いずれもマンハッタン区内)。ブロンクス・キルにかかるトラス橋。ヘル・ゲート(イースト・リバーの海峡)にかかる吊り橋で、ワード・アイランドとクイーンズ区のアストリアを結んでいます。この3つの橋は、ランダルズ島とワーズ島をまたぐ高速道路の高架橋と、14マイル(23km)の補助道路で結ばれています。高架橋には、ランダルズ島とウォーズ島を隔てていたリトルヘルゲートの跡地を横切る小さなスパンがある[2][3] また、ランダルズ島のグレード分離型Tインターチェンジもこの橋の一部で、ドライバーが料金所の1つのバンクだけで通行料を支払うように交通整理されている。 料金所はその後取り除かれ、すべての通行料は各橋へのアプローチで電気的に徴収されている。
橋梁群は主任技師のオスマー・H・アマンと建築家のアイマー・エンブリーIIによって設計され[5]、「橋というより交通機械、史上最大の建造物」と呼ばれている。アメリカ土木学会は1986年にトライバラ橋プロジェクトを国家歴史土木ランドマークとして指定した橋はMTAブリッジ&トンネル(正式にはトライバラブリッジ&トンネル公社、TBTA)により所有・運用されており、メトロポリタン交通公社の関連団体でもある.

この橋はレオン・モイセイフによって設計され、フェニックス・ブリッジ・カンパニーによって建設され、1909年12月31日に開通した。ヨーゼフ・メランのたわみ理論によるデッキ補強を採用した最初の吊橋であり、軽量なウォーレントラスが初めて採用された革新的な設計であった。近代的な吊り橋の先駆けとして、20世紀前半に建設された多くの記録的な橋梁のモデルとなっている。</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p></span></div>

1961年1月11日に開通したこの橋は、イースト川にかかる橋の中で最も新しく、西に2マイル(3.2km)離れたブロンクス-ホワイトストーン橋の交通を緩和するために建設されました。スロッグス・ネック橋は、イースト・リバーの最東端の橋でもあります。この橋とI-95に近いことから、ロングアイランドからジョージ・ワシントン橋経由でニュージャージー州へ、また北へ向かう最短ルートとなっています。
スロッグスネック橋はニューヨーク市政府が所有し、メトロポリタン交通局(MTA)の関連機関であるトライボロー橋・トンネル局(TBTA)が運営しています。</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p></span></div>

1920年代後半にエンジニアのデイビッド・B・スタインマンがナローズを渡る橋を提案したが、その後20年以上計画は延期された。1920年代のスタテン島トンネルの建設計画も頓挫し、1930年代のナローズの下に車両用のチューブを建設する計画も頓挫した。1930年代半ばから1940年代初頭にかけてトンネルの議論が再燃したが、この計画もまた否定された。1940年代後半、都市計画家ロバート・モーゼスは、スタテン島と他の都市を結ぶ方法として、ナローズを渡る橋を提唱した。しかし、様々な問題から着工は1959年まで遅れた。オスマー・アマン、レオポルド・ジャストらアマン&ホイットニーの技術者が設計し、1964年11月21日に開通、1969年には多量の交通量を緩和するために低層デッキも完成した。ニューヨーク市政府は2014年から15億ドルをかけて、この橋の2つのデッキの再建に着手した。
ヴェラッザーノ・ナローズ橋は、中央支間長が4,260フィート(1.30km、0.81mi)。1981年にイギリスのハンバー橋に抜かれるまで、世界最長の吊り橋だった。主径間は世界で18番目に長く、アメリカ大陸でも最長の橋である。1960年に正式名称が決定した際、工事契約書のミスで「Verrazano-Narrows Bridge」と誤記されていたが、2018年に正式に訂正された。ヴェラザノ・ナローズ橋は双方向で通行料を徴収しているが、渋滞緩和のため1986年から2020年までは西行きのみ通行料を支払っていた。</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p></span></div>
