America’s playground in the desert,
A place where Lady Luck beckons at the roll of a dice,
Themed hotels are a mecca of decadence and temptation,
A hotbed of hedonism, gambling and vice.
Elton John is the top act at Caesar’s Palace,
Gladys Knight is a sensation at the ‘Sahara,’ with the Pips,
Crowds gather around the casinos in search of a fortune,
Everyone eager to advise with their betting tips.
Las Vegas was built by the mobsters.
Bugsy Siegel is legendary in Vegas folklore,
The desert is filled with people buried in the heat of the night,
They are visible one minute and disappearing to be seen no more.
Vegas, is a magnificent gem in the heart of Nevada,
Where people forget their troubles, embracing the magic there,
A town filled with opportunities and possibilities,
Breathe in the atmosphere, fun is in the air.
