see nightlife's neon glitter flashing delightful promises sun-influenced phenomenon Las Vegas high rollers heat betting on aces holds a deuce what happens here stays here so the sweet lies have been told saccharine-sweet Lady Luck plastic smiles green-back made artificially sweet like the game hot ladies fueled by a desert sun as are the gaming machines inside relieves you of all your money ©December 17, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Personally I stay away from the 'hot' ladies and the gaming machines...too much to lose either way... Good piece j. |

Haha~ You might stay away, jwesley, but there are enough fools who don't to make both a very profitable business. Thanks for stopping by. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Nice...anytime someone says they're going to Vegas I wonder how much they are taking, because it will end up in the bank of Vegas...James |

I've never been to Las Vegas (or a casino); it's too blingy, flashy and erratic for this country mouse. Your poem paints it clearly, and I'm perfectly happy seeing it through this than actually going there. |

Hi Lori. It's a magical town. I've been there a few times, but I'm really not much of a gambler, Keno and the slots are about all I did. I went there mainly to see the shows. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
