Divas Las Vegas
Putting the sin back in Sin City, Divas Las Vegas is laugh-out-loud funny, touching, and compulsively readable! What’s a boy to do when he finds out that his Grandma’s vase —which he mistakenly sold at a yard sale—is actually worth tens of thousands of dollars, and it’s about to be cashed in on Antiques Roadshow? Naturally, the wisest thing to do is hop on a plane with your best friend and hightail it over to Las Vegas in order to get Grandma’s vase back! Rob Rosen’s rollicking Divas Las Vegas puts a campy twist on the murder mystery genre, and it bursts at the seams with studly blackjack dealers, divine drag queens, shriekingly bitchy humor, impromptu costume changes, kinky sex, and even the occasional Federal agent.

This book brought back good and fun memories of my own trip to Vegas.
After losing the best job he has ever had, Em sees his mother?s vase on the ?Antiques Roadshow?, and it?s worth a lot of money! He and his friend Justin take a trip to Las Vegas to retrieve the vase, but find hot, erotic sex with Middle Eastern bar tenders, murder, and their love for gambling distracting. An added bonus is that their alternate personalities, Marilyn and Tabitha get to come out and play, when they are followed by a black Mercedes, up and down the Strip. They?ll befriend a smelly smoker, cab driver Earl, and when they get in over their heads, Em?s friend Glenda joins them in Vegas. With the help of self medication and regular drinking, with the occasional grope here and there, Em and his friend may just survive the unforgiving Sin City?s desert and make nice with the Emperor of Rome, Caesar.
There is an exciting and highly stimulating scene at a restaurant involving Land-O-Lakes!
