The Grand Hotel
Lotta and Satchel were both excited
it was almost as if he'd been knighted
The hotel was changing to a palace
and hoping not to sound too callous
It was looking like a sure thing money machine
It was red around the top and all painted blue
Grand Hotel in white - the name that was new
Casino was ground floor, a magnificent sight
and would boggle the town on opening night
and the new hotel rooms were fit for a queen
The Liberty Belle was waiting to get started
hoping to clean up before it departed
The official welcome was still waiting for Lorne
Talulah and Denver were beginning to mourn
They knew the casino was nearly completed
It could hold more people, it was much bigger,
more people, more money- not hard to figure
They needed to get their welcome on track
if it failed then they wouldn't back
and all the grand plans would wind up defeated
