A Good Deed in Vegas

Las Vegas is, well, Las Vegas. Always has been for years and probably always will be. Huge casinos, the fat and gross of America eating for all they are worth, a city of Chinese and Japanese tourists and of course us.
We are staying in The Signature at the MGM Grand which is a complex of three massive tower blocks up to 35 stories tall but with one unusual feature for this city. No slots or gambling of any kind on the property. Players can walk through to the MGM Grand if they want to but nothing here otherwise than a very nice hotel.
Tomorrow morning we start the long shlep home but one final road trip story before we go.
Yesterday, both desperate and grateful for a meat meal, we drove over to the Haifa Restaurant on E.Twain at lunchtime. Besides one other couple we were the only people in the place. Our server, an elderly black guy, Favio, wearing a neat soft cap started asking us questions about dollar/sterling exchange rates. He is a collector and dealer of jazz LPs and 78s and he does a lot of business in the UK because no one in the US wants to buy old 78s. Our lunch came - matzo ball soup and meat and chips for Mrs Superpharm, Yemenite soup and schwarma in pita for me; ecstasy after nearly three weeks away from a proper kosher meal - the other couple, a young couple paid their bill and sat waiting for a taxi to take them back to the Strip. We finished our meal, paid and got ready to leave, the young couple were still sitting and waiting for a cab. We asked them where they were staying and would they like a lift. They gratefully said yes and we started talking to them. A Brazilian couple from Sao Paulo on honeymoon, they had been married a few days ago. The husband is from a Syrian family and is a trader in stationery in his father's business. Even though they are Sephardi the rav of their shul is Lubavitch which probably isn't that strange anyway. Vegas was their first stop on an very enviable journey. From Nevada they were flying to Los Angeles for a short stay then on to Tahiti before going on to Bora Bora before finally staying in Hawaii before flying back to Brazil. A nice couple, she just 20 he 28, ww were delighted to offer them a lift, to wish them mazel tov and to deliver them safely to the front of the Bellagio.
