Las Vegas Poems - Poems about Las Vegas

Las Vegas here we are

astronomical odds they may be
cross your fingers for good luck
get into the groove, into the rhythm
spin hoping for a winfall or free games
spin to hear those bells go crazy
spin for a major hit to cash out

that jackpot has your name on it
somebody's got to win
it might as well be you
adrenalin pumping
get those lights flashing
let crowds

The Poet Of Las Vegas Boulevard

The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard,
steals emotion from the night

Holding a vigil in the darkness,
waiting for the light

The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard,
among the screams and homeless cries

Making rhyme of what reason has abandoned
—marking time inside the shadow of lies

(Las Vegas Boulevard: January 24, 2016)

Las Vegas 1967
Harrah’s, free drinks
Circus Circus, bring the kids
Frontier, win a Chevy

Golden Nugget, best slots
Flamingo Capri, Elvis impersonator
Caesar’s Palace, world’s best buffet

Tropicana, win big
Sahara, all day breakfast
Dunes, best shrimp cocktail thirty cents
Golden Nugget, live girls
I would certainly hope so.

My Last Las Vegas Ces

My Last Las Vegas C.E.S. (1)
(A Memorial Poem)
I long counted Steve Bristow a friend (1) and we'd fly off to lunch
some days (Steve would get 'hours in' he needed for license - small planes).
It was fun to go with him (a 'lunch' more than three hours)! We'd drive
to the plane (all maintained by a club

I Should Have Picked Berries In Las Vegas

I went off to Las Vegas for some berry
On to some fun times ... not to get bury
Perhaps wide eye a show, and sight see 
Not end up at the bottom of the blue sea
The voice of the red devil said, why not
And like every sap, I was tied into a knot
All it took were

My Poems New Jerusalem Las Vegas

My Poems

Are but only and unto me 

An inner source of both shuttling
and chastening my day dreams

My very own fantastical imagination 
galaxy and far off universe

Inside my head rallying me to discover
what may well just reside beyond the 
setting stellar sun or dark side of the moon

Because I would far rather be alone and
searching for

The Moon Is Shocked By Las Vegas

You should take a peek the night winds told the moon.
He was hesitant at first, they are such gossips who swoon.
They are not lying, the evening stars hissed into his ear.
This city is up all night, slumber is not revered or dear.

The moon took a tiny peek from the top of a road.
He was shocked

Christmas In Las Vegas

Odds are Kris Kringle won't Show today
Because Father Christmas leads the way
So jolly Saint Nick
Will be today's Pick
If Santa Claus will lend him his sleigh

Lady Luck

luck smiles at me playing
playing the slot machines from hell
the numbers are turning out 
luck smiles at me 
the numbers turning up
roulette
black, red odd
numbers

In Las Vegas

The wheels of the slot machines keep spinning 
In Las Vegas I guarantee someone is winning 
Putting money in and more money comes out
A game of chance is what I'm talking about 

Of course in this game there are losers too
Some lose money and don't know what to do
Enticed no doubt by the complimentary drink
Money

Las Vegas Dreams

Lights and glitter, everything that is gold
Awaits the naive and daring alike
Seeking a dream to slippery to hold

Vanishing coin; your finances all on strike
Eccentric beings, I politely call
Guests who have lingered and made these streets home
Accepting of vice, the big and the small
Such candor quite absent where e'er I roam

Diamonds may turn to glass come

Las Vegas Love

Las Vegas Love
No one, knows the odds of the what happens.
No one, knows the reasons, from what is left behind.
All there lies is the pain and the tears,
of the different experiences, shared in a similar bind.

All just came to enjoy a fabulous event.
An interest,  to embrace, and celebrate.
Instead comes the darkness, over time forms,
embodied

Where Is the Coin Cup

My girlfriend and I went to Vegas.
We had a blast going from casino to casino.
They started to bring us free drinks at one.
We had two, three, four, maybe five drinks.
We left the casino, stumbling a bit.
Hey! She said where is the coin cup?
We had been sharing one.
An argument ensued.
We had left it in there.
We stumbled

Welcome To Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Reno, the Hoover Dam, the casinos, the resale shops!
Screech.....they have resale shops in Vegas? Only the best in the world.
They are filled with rhinestone boots, hats, bras, handkerchiefs, zippers.
I know this because I have spent years in these shops –not consecutively

My daughter lived in Reno for seven years, so we used to travel
