Leaving Las Vegas


Book Description

This “brutal and unflinching” novel of fleeting love in Sin City inspired the film starring Nicholas Cage and Elizabeth Shue (Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City). John O’Brien’s debut novel, Leaving Las Vegas, is an emotionally wrenching story of a woman who embraces life and a man who rejects it; a powerful tale of hard luck, hard drinking, and a relationship of tenderness and destruction. An avowed alcoholic, Ben drinks away his family, friends, and, finally, his job. With deliberate resolve, he burns the remnants of his life and heads for Las Vegas to end it all in the last great binge of his hopeless life. On the Strip, he picks up Sera, a prostitute, in what might have become another excess in his self-destructive jag. Instead, their chance meeting becomes a respite on the road to oblivion as they form a bond that is as mysterious as it is immutable.

Eating Las Vegas 2016


Book Description

Restaurant guides typically give readers a singular viewpoint. Eating Las Vegas triples the ante, offering reviews from three respected Las Vegas food critics who hail from completely different backgrounds, lifestyles, and tastes--and who usually disagree on the merits of any particular restaurant. Yet, after countless arguments over lunches and dinners all around town, Las Vegas' best-known dining writers accomplished the impossible and came up with a list of the eateries all three could confidently recommend. Now in its fourth year, Eating Las Vegas has become the premier source for Las Vegas dining information. The 2016 edition features an expanded section of quick-reference lists highlighting the city's best bets for pizza, steakhouses, cocktails, cheap eats, late-night dining, buffets and more. The dreaded and much-debated Veto section returns with more fiery arguments for and against the eateries that came within a vote of being included in the Essential 50. With reviews of restaurants ranging from some of the Strip's most lavish dining rooms to hole-in-the-wall ethnic gems, Eating Las Vegas puts the city's entire extraordinary dining experience on your plate.
