Bright lights, big city

Bright lights beckoning me

with false hopes and dreams

Neon colors screaming

Nothing is ever as it seems

Come one, lose all

Loud music everywhere

Short skirts and higher heels

This is how Vegas feels

Great. I particularly liked the "Come one, lose all."

Thanks for posting to the Wall of Losers on The Triple Name Club where it's now featured.

I like the line that Len mentions as well. I was in Vegas not long ago for a conference. By day it was concrete, wires and pipes. By night, dazzling.
Never on my list of chosen destinations.

I was there for 6 days for a conference. I needed a few days relaxation away from work and vegas did serve that purpose. Not much of a partier myself, but did enjoy the different restaurants and the downtime :)

As did I, Priya. I had lunch every day at a Thai restaurant; we don't have one near here. It was fun and delicious.
