Las Vegas Poem by Lindsey Priest

Been to Las Vegas
Couldn’t believe my eyes
Searing heat and slot machines
Took me by surprise.

Oh, I knew that they would be there
Nothing more safe to say,
But that I could touch and feel them
Took my breath away.

Right at this very moment
Ten thousand machines at play
Neon lights flashing brightly
In the middle of the day

I feel so very humble
That I had the chance
To walk along the Sunset Strip
Watch rainbow waters dance.

An unforgettable experience
I wish I could repeat.
To step out there just one more time
Along that amazing street.

Do people really live there?
That city of renown.
While I am safely back at home
In an English seaside town.

Been to Las Vegas
Couldn’t believe my eyes
Searing heat and slot machines
Took me by surprise.
