Las Vegas, Nevada   Las Vegas, Nevada Where Pleistocene strata Are heaved against tons of red clay There human invention Demands our attention And sparkles in endless display It's Egypt, no, Paris! Indeed? You'd embarrass the French. But glistening casinos Engage us in neon suspense! Where once in the desert The giants were reptiles Who lumbered through eons of time Today in the city The giants are petty Facades Playing gods for a dime.
