Hardy had already checked the almanac and noted that, after the 25th in July, there weren’t any particularly favorable days, and ti was tight. August 2nd was a good choice, August 5th was even better, and August 9th was also acceptable. Beyond that, it would be the 15th. August 5th was the most suitable, especially as it was a Saturday, making it convenient for visitors to co and enjoy a fun weekend.
With the date set, the next step was publicity. Hardy said, "Reserve a month’s worth of pages in the
Global Tis
, with large ads running every day to create a buzz. Also, book pri-ti slots on ABC and Las Vegas television stations for extensive advertisent."
"Make sure every Arican knows that the two big casinos in Las Vegas will be opening on the sa day."
"Increase the number of buses from Los Angeles to Las Vegas so that visitors can arrive smoothly and on ti."
"For external promotions, announce that starting August 5, Las Vegas will host a week-long concert featuring performances by big stars like Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, and Judy Garland."
"Elizabeth Taylor, Hedy Lamarr, Vivien Leigh, Greta Garbo, and Ingrid Bergman will also attend as guest celebrities."
"I’ve already spoken to Edward’s agency. Once the venue at the Venetian is ready, they’ll hold a Victoria’s Secret Angel lingerie show."
"Notify the Los Angeles company that there will be a two-week boxing event at the Caesars Palace boxing arena, inviting the most famous boxers across the U.S. with a prize set for the competition. Of course, the casino can open betting for this event as well."
Previously, underground boxing arenas were run by gangs. After Hardy’s guidance, Bill had already legitimized this business. Now, Bill controlled the East Coast boxing matches and was planning to create his own tournant series.
At this ti, WBC and WBA didn’t exist yet; there was only the NBA—though not the basketball one, but an intercontinental boxing organization. Over ti, the NBA grew and eventually rebranded as the WBA. Later on, the IBF and WBO would also be established.
"Andy, take note: on opening day, in my na, invite officials and legislators from Nevada, California, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco."
"Also, in my na, invite representatives from the California Fund, Rockefeller Fund, Morgan Fund, Cleveland Fund, Texas Fund, DuPont Fund, llon Fund, and the chairpersons, board mbers, and presidents of all companies collaborating with Hardy Group."
Andy noted it down, smiling as he said, "I estimate that just this group alone will be over a thousand people."
The casino manager looked at Hardy with admiration, thinking how powerful his boss was to know so many influential figures. With connections like this, how could business not go well?
With these tasks assigned, Hardy and Andy returned to Los Angeles. As soon as their car reached the estate, Taylor ran out of the house in a dress, and, abandoning her ladylike composure, threw herself at Hardy.
Hardy caught Taylor and held her in his arms.
"Hardy, I missed you so much," Taylor cooed, then kissed him deeply.
Eighteen-year-old Taylor, with her violet eyes, looked like a fairy, a girl in her pri and beauty.
The room eventually fell silent again. Taylor lay on Hardy’s chest, catching her breath as she said, "I could have your child, you know."
"No, you’re still too young; you’ve just reached adulthood yourself. It would be best after you’re 25," Hardy said, stroking her damp, curved hip.
Then he ntioned the casino opening and inviting her as a guest perforr, and naturally, Taylor was delighted.
Recently, Ava had not been filming but was recording a new album. She was now a famous movie star and an even more renowned singer. Moreover, in the coming season, she would be a guest on ABC’s "Super Idol" talent show, so she couldn’t leave.
On the third day, Irina naturally ca over to report her work.
Irina had grown rapidly, now a well-known host and vice president of the television station, with distinct abilities of her own.
As for Marilyn Monroe, she was still in Miami, filming the final scenes for

. Hearing that Hardy was in Los Angeles, she exclaid, "The movie will be done soon; I’ll be back in a week at most. Wait for !"
