Summary of Turning the Tables: A Novel
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.
