Pioneers
Ruffin it out on the New Frontier
A Trump Card in the hand
Of a few pioneers
From the dusty trail
to the edge of the skies
Stands tall the objects of enterprise
The brothers Fertitta
with so many Stations under one roof
With dreams as big
as those of the brothers Maloof
Down in the Valley "Green"
another tale is "Spun"
Sure to be reported
by everyone under the Sun
Las Vegas and her environs
including the Seven Hills
Helping the American Nevadans
pay their bills
When you think of Las Vegas
You must consider Steve Wynn
But don't forget Howard
and his beloved Summerlin

Spirit Of Vegas
A major mega-merger
adding Mandalay Resorts Group
To the MGM/Mirage family
And the little man’s on the corner getting the scoop
Of ice cream so he’d have something to give to Channel Three
Las Vegas has the Venetian
built by Sheldon Adelson
And the little man’s on the corner preachin’
Tellin’ us we must pull the handle to win
Another mega-merger,
putting Caesar’s
In the pocket of Harrah’s
On the corner, sits a group of geezers
Owning up to something that was once Yogi Berra’s
The New Frontier, once owned by Phil Ruffin
And the little man’s on the corner
Huffin’ and puffin’ after filling up on muffins
Provided by Little Jack Horner
Mega this and mega that,
big deals grace the pages
Of the Vegas dailies
And the little man on the corner-
a peer among sages
He once worked at Bally's
In Vegas, The Donald has now entered the scene
To hang his shingle
While the man on the corner shares his dream
Of making it home after hitting a single
