Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Blast From the Past

Las Vegas nights
Bright flashing lights
Guests arrive in droves
To visit gamble and let loose

Their private jets and stretch limos
Hollywood royalty on tour
Dressed for a neverending gala
The glamour and the pomp

Living it up at The Sahara
Exclusive parties in penthouse suites
Cocktail waitresses in skimpy outfits
Pouring lavish drinks as you desire

High on oxygen pumped through the air
A different era of glitz and glamour
Has less than everything really changed

Rhona Mcferran January 23, 2020 at 2:10 PM Enjoyed this blast from the past! I almost went there with a friend once... in another lifetime. It's actually good we didn't go, as I was young and impulsive (& we probably would've come back married- which would've been a mistake). But this poem makes me wish I'd seen Vegas years ago, as I'd probably be disappointed now! Line Gauthier January 23, 2020 at 9:52 PM The architecture is magnificent and worth going for that reason alone, Rhona. But don't go in January, it is too cold!

Caren Krutsinger January 21, 2020 at 9:14 PM I was so angry when they got rid of the Dunes, but I also love the Sahara and Vegas. You have done Las Vegas justice Line. Line Gauthier January 21, 2020 at 10:15 PM Sadly you would not recognize the Sahara, Caren. The exterior was so exotic and majestic in the day... now it's surprisingly plain. Hard to believe.

Timothy Mcguire January 21, 2020 at 12:01 AM Nice place to visit, would you want to take a CHANCE and live there? Line Gauthier January 21, 2020 at 12:44 AM Heavens NO ! LOL
