A place time forgot There are no clocks Blinking and flashing lights abound The exits are confusing signs When outside it's no better The heat will push you inside In winter the promise of warmth will draw you away It's never day or night It's 24/7 all the time You can risk and play Or dine on delicacies from far away A little money can buy you anything In this land of many things For every desire and disgrace Come one come all To our desert place.
Though I know this place well after a recent visit I saw how much Las Vegas has in common with the mythical island of the Lotus Eaters.
