Awake In Las Vegas
If it's not in Las Vegas it can't be found at all;
every vice and virtue is there to you enthrall.
Downtown and strip casinos have glitter and finesse,
gambling and entertainment with the world-famous chefs.
Las Vegas means "the meadows," with mountain majesty:
Sunset, Black, Sheep, Spring ranges in high captivity.
His honor, Oscar Goodman, the Valley elected,
is a colorful mayor, vitally directed.
The geographic climate is something to behold:
azure blue skies and sunshine, one seldom feels the cold.
The regional location offer sights to exam:
Red Rock, Valley of Fire, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam.
The dynamic energy infuses all around,
a vigorous excitement is in Las Vegas found.
