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. |

 Written on September 3, 2006 Summary: A fun book I suppose the problem I have reviewing Rita Rudner books is that my introduction to her, "Naked Beneath My Clothes", was so fall-on-the-floor funny that no subsequent book can compare. But in "Tickled Pink" and now "Turning the Tables" she has written two solid, good read, funny novels with touches of human interest. The plot is well constructed, but of the sort that can only work in a farce. A woman has an affair with someone senior at the casino where they work, rides his coattails, falls out with him, and is betrayed by him. Then the husband she cheated on goes through a bad time and comes out a better man. She, meanwhile, raises the money for him to rise and triumph and, incidentally bring down the former boyfriend. That's the outline without giving away the punchlines. If you are looking for a light, funny book this is an excellent choice. It never slows down and the jokes keep coming. (Timing, timing, timing!) Written on August 31, 2006 Summary: Rita's Newest Book This book is set in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed reading this book. I read it on my way home from Vegas after Rita Rudner gave me a pre-copy of this book. It is a good read for both men and women. I am ordering one for over 200 of my friends and family members. I think it will make a great Christmas gift. Get your copy today before they are all gone. |
