"In this dazzling 24-hour journey, James Patterson lifts the lid on America's notorious hub of gambling and excess. Fuelled by original interviews and in-depth reporting, What Really Happens in Vegas uncovers the vice, crime and entertainment that made Sin City an infamous desert mecca.

This is Vegas as you've never seen it before, filled with unbelievable stories from the people who make the city tick, simmer - and even explode."

This is definitely a book for people who've been to Vegas and love it. Luckily, I am one of those people! There are chapters about the history of Vegas and about how it operates behind the scenes which I found fascinating. There are also chapters focusing on people who gambled on moving to Vegas to make a life/career for themselves, which I found a bit more hit or miss on how much they interested me.

I'd definitely recommend this if Vegas is your happy place!
