What Happens in Vegas . . .
Rita Rudner’s offbeat
and on-target humor has won her rave reviews, passionate
fans, and a record-setting, headlining show on the Vegas
strip. Now she unleashes her hilarious take on Sin City in
this comic romp filled with gambling, strippers,
double-crossing exes, swingers’ conventions, magicians, and
everything else that’s supposed to stay in Vegas.
Our
heroine is Allie Bowen, a small-town girl who took a gamble
on the big city that’s finally beginning to pay off. At
twenty-six, she has a plum job at Heaven, a wonderland of
vice that is Las Vegas’s hottest casino and the most
profitable hotel in the world. Enshrouded in man-made
clouds, Heaven is the kind of place where the security
guards hide their glocks beneath white robes and wings.
As vice president of public relations, Allie glides
easily from bribing nosy news teams with Cher tickets to
comping disgruntled guests with visits to all-you-can-eat
buffets. To top it all off, Allie is dating the handsome and
ambitious Christian Sacco, a successful casino executive
with his eye on the president’s office. Christian may not be
perfect, but he’s much more of a go-getter than Allie’s
ex-husband, an out-of-work, nice guy/terrible magician named
Barry Houdini.
Little does Allie know that Christian
has a ruthless streak, and he has concocted a plot to rip
off the casino. When the couple breaks up over a tiny
argument (Christian thinks a threesome with his
ex-girlfriend would be great; Allie disagrees), she
unknowingly becomes the perfect fall girl for Christian’s
scheme. Allie is about to learn that working at Heaven can
really be hell.
Only in Vegas, baby.
