Las Vegas Strip Spraying

Last night there was a strip spraying;
Bullets were straying and bodies laying;
Agony there,
And despair;
We wonder what message this is saying.

Las Vegas, big win. The coins are flying.
Casino is broke. Heart attacks. Someone's dying.

With buttons and wires, just pushing and cutting ;-D
