Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
“Hey?” Caramel smiled as the group trotted across a courtyard of cloudstone. “What about Cumulus Casino?”
“Dang it, girl,” Lyra grumbled. “For the last time—” She paused to weather a Chineighs buffet belch. “We're not doing the Cumulus Casino!”
“But it's classy!” Caramel pouted.
“It's also the oldest establishment in Upper Las Pegasus.” Lyra shook her head. “No no... we wanna aim high.” She grinned. “We want glitz, glamour, and a whollllllle lot of flashing lights to mask the tears of gambling. I'm talkin' about a friggin' mountain of slot machines upon which to lay our souls to rest.”
“My goodness, Lyra,” Bon Bon exhaled. “Did we come here for a vacation or for a wake?”
“Same difference, if you ask me,” Lyra said with a chuckle. “Think of it this way, you don't know how good you've got it until you've let yourself sink rock bottom. That's the whole reason Las Pegasus exists! Not everypony can be sent to Tartarus and come back. So we have this place as the mental and psychological equivalent!”
“You could get the same kind of thrill from a mugging in a Manehattan back alley,” Vinyl muttered.
“Pffft! Shut up!” Lyra frowned. “At least back alleys in Manehattan don't come with sexy-ass strip clubs!”
“When was the last time you were at Manehattan?”
Bon Bon giggled.
“I'm not kidding!” Lyra barked. “Sometimes you gotta get low to get high! Ha HA! Isn't that right, Rainbow Dash?”
Silence.
“Rainbow Dash?”
The pegasus flew behind the group. She winced, rubbing her forelimbs together, trying to get a feel through the numbness.
“Hey! Rainbow Dash!” Lyra growled.
“Huh?” Rainbow looked up. “What?”
“You know the place I have in mind, don't you?” Lyra snickered. “Only a thrill-seeking pegasus like you would expect both the best and the worst!”
“Uhhhhhhhhh...” Rainbow Dash blinked. “... … ...can I take the physical challenge?”
“Hey...” Caramel smiled bashfully. “How about Cumulus Casino?”
Bon Bon giggled again.
“Dang it, girls!” Lyra spun and pointed at a sudden skyscraper towering above them. “I'm speaking of the hottest, richest, filthiest casino in all of Las Pegasus! Now feast your eyes!”
Everyone tilted their heads up. Above them loomed a massive structure made to look like it was built on the outside by layers and layers of marble pillars. The effigies of pegasi—frozen in flight—flanked the outer balconies. Big braziers burned, spitting smoke and ashes into the high air. Classical music wafted out of the structure, and airborne taxis and tourist shuttles congregated cyclonically about the scraper.
“Huh... The Last Stand,” Vinyl murmured.
Rainbow glanced aside. “Huh?”
“You know...” Vinyl squinted back. “Commander Hurricane's Last Stand? Named after the mare of legend.”
“And guaranteed to make a Las Pegasus night of legend!” Lyra grinned from ear to ear. “Come on, girls!” She motioned as she galloped ahead. “Let's buckin' mosey!”
“Lyraaaa!” Bon Bon scampered after her. “Wait!”
“Oh wow...” Caramel followed the others. “I bet they have gorgeous shops in there.”
Vinyl sighed and bore a cold smirk. “You heard our mint green leader, Rainbow.” She cleared her throat as she trotted forward. “Put your legs into it.”
“Mrmmfff...” Rainbow flitted after her, approaching the front entrance to the massive casino. “Don't you start...”

Vinyl be droppin dat sass along with dat bass.
Phooie this won't end well....
StratopolisThe Last Stand seems pretty nifty.Let the bodies hit the floor
I foresee no way this could possibly go wrong.
A classy and highly important structure. So, naturally, it will be burnt to the ground by the end of the arc, even accounting for the fact that it is in the sky and it is made of clouds (i.e. water).
7111734 Physically impossible in this world means nothing to Equestria, surely somepony would set fire to clouds through sheer force of ignorance.
Lyraaaa! Is it weird that I thought of this song when I read that?
Just a little?
7111746 Or sheer force of psionic influence. Use Ork
antilogic. If you don't know that it can't work, just do it.Rainbow should dye her coat red. Then she'll be even faster.

Achievements in ignorance.
If you don't know it can't be done, you can do it.

I wonder if it has Smooze or dragons with explosives. I bet Lyra will find them.
7111682 I JUST NOTICED THAT GRAMMAR FLAW I MADE
"Lyraaa! That kills people!"
I feel like we're getting closer and closer to the moment where shit just goes completely crazy.
Vinyl sighed and bore a cold smirk. “You heard our mint green leader, Rainbow.” She cleared her throat as she trotted forward. “Put your legs into it.
Vinyl you smartass
I hope we get more Vinyl even after this arc.
