I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.

Showroom Dummies
1 2 3 4 [in german]
We are standing here
Exposing ourselves
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies
Were being watched
And we feel our pulse
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies
We look around
And change our pose
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies
We start to move
And we break the glass
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies
We step out
And take a walk through the city
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies
We go into a club
And there we start to dance
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies
[repeat to fade]
We are showroom dummies

Gamblers Roll
Gamblers roll
Words by warren haynes
Music by warren haynes and johnny neal
(c) 1990 music corporation of america, inc.,
Buzzard rock music and song pantry music, inc.
Transcribed by b. luckett
The dealer sits alone in the dark
Cigarette shines on his very last card
Everything he had... watched it come and go
On a gamblers roll
Cold wind blows a young girls world apart
She bet it all she bet it all on the jack of hearts
Gained her freedom but lost her soul
On a gamblers roll on a gamblers roll
You know the gambler he rides... rides on a fools train
Ah tradin silver for gold
Oh but his luck will change... time takes its toll
On a gamblers roll
The dealer knows... its just about his last game
Not even she knows all the sorrow and pain
As the forty-five deals the fatal blow
On a gamblers roll...on a gamblers roll
You know the gambler he rides... rides on a fools train
Tradin silver for gold
Ah but his luck will change... time takes its toll
On a gamblers roll... on a gamblers roll
On a gamblers roll... on a gamblers roll
On a gamblers... gamblers roll

Not In Las Vegas
I don't wanna be alone,
Not in Las Vegas.
Don't wanna be alone.
Not in Las Vegas
No I don't wanna be alone,
Not in Las Vegas.
With neon signs flashing on the 'strip'.
To be busted and no bucks at all.
Not in Las Vegas.
To know no one with no friends to call.
Not in Las Vegas.
To be in a bind with no peace of mind.
Not in Las Vegas.
Not in Las Vegas.
I don't wanna be alone.
I don't wanna be alone.
Don't wanna be alone.
Not in Las Vegas.
To be busted and no bucks at all.
Not in Las Vegas.
To know no one with no friends to call.
Not in Las Vegas.
To be in a bind with no peace of mind.
Not in Las Vegas.
Not in Las Vegas.
With neon signs flashing all over the 'strip'.
And...
Not a single dime to show for it!
No I...
Don't wanna be alone.
I don't wanna be alone.
No I don't wanna be alone...
Showing nothing but some dust in pockets.
And...
Busted when I had a chance to split.
And...
No one visiting 'Vegas' should do this.
So...
Whatever one wins get up and split with it.
'Excuse me...
Would you happen to have an 'extra' ten dollars?
I will sing 'Moon River' for you.

Vicious Games
I never knew
How much I loved you
I never knew
How much I cared
So I played
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
I was afraid
To go under
Afraid to see
When I closed my eyes
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
I never knew
How much I loved you
I never knew
How much I care
I just played
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
Now that youre gone
And you have left me
I had to learn
I had to learn how much it hurts
To play those vicious games
Vicious games, vicious games
Different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
Different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games

Slave Dealers Daughter
Ive been trying for so long
Trying to forget
The ports of northern africa and the man I met
He said he had a daughter
Maybe I could meet her
He thought I was a trader
Oh, that was how I met
That slave dealers daughter
Her eyes were black her hair was raven
Her skin was soft and brown
Eighteen years she looked a woman
I thought shed been around
Shed never met a jailbird? ? ?
I knew that she was lonely
She offered me her body
So I fell in love
With that slave dealers daughter
Her fathers men came after me
Trying to hunt me down
For three long years Ive hid my face
And run from town to town
She never met a jailbird
I knew that she was lonely
She offered me her body
So I fell in love
With that slave dealers daugther...

Vegas Dancing 2010
It was Vegas 2010
I went dancing with
Just met new friends.
It was Halloween night,
People dressed sleek and tight.
I jumped up on the platform,
Looking just right.
I had a mask on so no one
Could tell who I was.
It was funny just because.
People watching all my moves,
Dancing with all the grooves,
They started to imitate,
Which was great.
Then my fate I had to go,
There is always an end to a show.
It was a night I won’t forget,
I didn’t have to gamble or even bet.
In Vegas as the saying goes,
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Lets Go To Vegas
(karen staley)
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
Lyin on the bank of the river
Stars are dancin, lord its hot
Holdin you is what I live for
I just had a crazy thought
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
Well find a little wedding chapel
A pair of rings and a preacher too
Underneath the neon steeple
Well take a gamble and say I do
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
Viva las vegas, sparklin lights
Dangerous livin, tumblin dice
Youre my ace in the hole now honey
And Im your lady luck
Pack a few things and a little money
And put em in the truck
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, lets go to vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Viva Las Vegas
(words & music by doc pomus and mort shuman)
Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money thats ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
Theres a thousand pretty women waitin out there
And theyre all livin devil may care
And Im just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
cause even if there were forty more
I wouldnt sleep a minute away
Oh, theres black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on evry deal
All you needs a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas
Viva las vegas with you neon flashin
And your one armbandits crashin
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin day into nighttime
Turnin night into daytime
If you see it once
Youll never be the same again
Im gonna keep on the run
Im gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
Ill always remember that I had a swingin time
Im gonna give it evrything Ive got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with evry shot

42 - The Bright Lights of Las Vegas
The bright lights of Las Vegas
Casinos open around the clock
Wedding bells, Grand hotels
A place where the fornicators flock
Like the showgirls on the strip
The rainbow waters dance
European countries recreated
England, Venice and France
At the bar the drinks roll in
As the alcoholics sit
While gamblers like to shake
The hand of the one arm bandit
The city of sin and adulterers
The sounds of the old school tunes
Neon lights, Gangland fights
The mirage and the windblown dunes
The bright lights of Las Vegas
Casinos open around the clock
Wedding bells, Grand hotels
A place where the fornicators flock

Here's To Las Vegas
Here's to Las Vegas,
It's one of a kind,
Here's to the smiles all around
Neons are flashing
'Bout music and passion
All over town
Here's to the winners
Cheers to them all
Everyone's winning today
Forever, for always, for everyone
Here's to las vegas
And I'm here to stay
(bridge)
Oh....There's no place anywhere like this heaven
Oh....There's music everywhere, playing 24/7
Here's to las vegas
This talented town
To the legends that gave it a start
Here's to elvis and sammy
Dean and Jerry and Frank
They're in our hearts
This one's for you
Thanks for letting me do
What I'll do till the end of my days
Forever, for always, for everyone
Here's to Las Vegas....
And I'm here to stay!!!

I miss the love raidiating from you
I miss the softness of your lips

Viva! Las Vegas
{one of two new tracks especially recorded for this package. sung by
Dusty, whose affinity for the big e is well-known to concert-goers
Delighted by his tonsil-blistering treatment of jailhouse rock.
Written by rock n roll hall of famer doc pomus, zzs vlv includes
Echoes from its original performer, beyond the pale. the inspiration
For recording the track was born -- and a rough vocal demo cut -- in
The dressing room of the monroe, la civic auditorium where, legend
Has it, vernon and gladys only surviving son passed the time before
Taking the stage.}
Spoken: yall still want me to come with you?
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire
Theres a whole lot of money thats ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher.
Theres a thousand pretty women just a-waitin out there,
And theyre all livin devil-may-care.
Im just the devil with a love to spare.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Spoken: ah, thank-ya very much baby.
And how I wish that there were more
Than twenty-four hours in the day.
But even if there were forty more,
I wouldnt sleep a minute away.
Oh, theres blackjack and poker and a roulette wheel.
A fortune won and lost on every deal.
All you needs a strong heart and a nerve of steel.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas with your neon flashin,
And your one-armed bandits crashin
All those hopes down the drain.
Viva las vegas turnin day into nighttime,
Turn the night into daytime,
If you see it once, youll never come home again.
Im gonna keep on the run,
Im gonna have me some fun,
If it costs me my very last dime.
