Produktbeschreibung
The world's #1 bestselling author shows the real Vegas in a dazzling journey through Sin City.   What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—until now.   In What Really Happens in Vegas, 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.   Las Vegas is on Luxury Standard Time: every clock in the airport is a Rolex. No dream is too big, no wish is too small—the VIP hosts in Vegas fulfill guests’ every (legal) desire. Jackpots hit when least expected.   The Nevada Gaming Control Board has days to find a man who unknowingly won over $200,000 at the slots.   The inventor of the Elvis impersonator wedding and the drive-thru wedding has performed hundreds of marriages—and believes in them all.   Glamorous yogis take a 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, yet still leaves saying, "Had a great time. I'll be back".   “Wild and wonderful…The magic of Sin City doesn’t just happen. Patterson and Seal tell its secrets in beautifully presented snippets that often overlap not just surprisingly, but charmingly too.” —Telegraph (UK)
