Only In Las Vegas

Las Vegas' rushed pace was upsetting,
Which left a gambler dazed and sweating,
At the fast evening’s end
Met he a posh girlfriend...
They wed quickly through drive-in betting!

Love the imagery, nette. I'll be there in January and will keep my eyes open at the wedding drive-thrus.
