Jewels In the Desert
Flashing lights and colorful neon
illuminate the municipal oasis.
The metropolis at night will beckon.
There is no other attraction like this.
Houses both on the strip and downtown
say to all, “Come in and take a chance”
The town is like a goddess in a gown.
Behold this marvelous place at first glance.
Come on down from the mountains and hills.
They have tables and machines galore.
There are shows and restaurants for your thrills.
They have all you want, and so much more.
In the Spanish tongue, it means “The Meadows”.
Like jewels in a black velvet case, it glows.
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA at night
