What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas--until now. James Patterson shows the real Vegas in a dazzling journey through "lively tales of those who labor and dream in Sin City" (Kirkus). "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) 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. "I love love" 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." ​ In What Really Happens in Vegas, 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.

What happens when you drink too much in Vegas? You couldn't possibly get married and not remember it, could you? They say what happens in Vegas, stays there, and that's exactly what Peyton is counting on. After waking up in a hotel room that isn't hers, next to a naked man she doesn't know, with a ring on her finger and no recollection of the previous twenty-four hours, she hops the first flight back home with two new mantras. Whatever happened, happened. And no looking back, only forward. Only a few months later, her past shows back up on her doorstep in the form of one very determined husband. A few months ago, Maxwell woke up alone in a hotel in Vegas with a hangover and a lingering feeling that something important had happened to him the night before. Unsure if his vague memories were real or just a dream; he hired a private investigator. Now that he's tracked down his accidental wife, he's determined to get a divorce. Or is he? Face to face, the words don't come and instead he finds himself asking his wife if she'd like to go on a date. Is it possible their one night in Vegas was meant to be more? Can they make a relationship work? Or is divorce really the only option when what happens in Vegas follows you home?
