has both pharaohs and caesars  
and its share of wizened geezers  
Cirque, Le Cirque, I've run full circle  
Cosmopolitan is purple

gaudy shows, generous tippers  
cheesy bars and gorgeous strippers  
table games and one armed bandits  
can't be bothered by the pundits

desert has been air conditioned  
Bugsy had it all commissioned  
ladies of the night are legal  
Bugsy did it, Bugsy Siegel

rarely anymore, bodegas  
as you've guessed, I'm talking Vegas  
modern Oz, take your pink glasses  
I can't wait till Covid passes
