Summary:

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas--until now. James Patterson shows the real Vegas in a dazzling journey through stories of excess, drama, and hope. What Really Happens in Vegas is an action-filled insider look at Americas most dazzling city. The airport in Las Vegas is on Luxury Standard Time: every clock, in every terminal, is a Rolex. The Nevada Gaming Control Board has three days to track down a man who unknowingly won over $200,000 playing the slots. Glamorous yogis helicopter across the desert to the Valley of Fire, where they perform sun salutations to the glory of Las Vegas. A gambling VIP "whale" loses $1 million at the casinos in one day, then says, "Had a great time. I'll be back." Full of surprises for both newcomers and Las Vegas regulars, James Patterson and Vanity Fair contributing editor Mark Seal transport readers from the thrill of adrenaline-fueled vice to the glitter of A-list celebrity and entertainment.
