Book Description
Games of chance, games of passion, games of love--roll the dice for a week in Las Vegas with games mistresses Radclyffe and Karin Kallmaker. Whether a public table or a back room invitational, the players want to score and everybody can't wait to go all in.
A pit boss who thinks she's seen it all thinks again. A shy novelist considers research in a hospitality suite. The fountains of Las Vegas inspire more than one couple to try something new. Double or nothing? Inside bet? How about a little insurance when the dealer has the upper hand?
Choose your game, ante up and enjoy the floor show. All bets are off when these two writers deal the cards, and every hand is a winner.

A genial, surprisingly romantic romp through a Vegas hotel hosting multiple conventions - 3.5 stars June 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Again, with this collection by these two authors you're looking at pure escapism at its finest as the focus moves through a variety of women, hooking up for all sorts of reasons, using a range of techniques. I thought that this book overall was gentler than the Cruise Ship setting, in the relationships and the sex. There were plenty of random-stranger hook-ups, but more often than not even these seemed destined to become something deeper on an emotional level. Nothing wrong with that; merely an observation.
The little touches that wove the stories together really succeeded in creating a cohesive whole and, once again, the frequent use of characters familiar from other books and stories lent the proceedings a bit of extra depth and romance. But I think the organizational spreadsheet was perhaps less necessary here than with the previous book. Fewer "tools" were used, or perhaps it just feels like there was less variety.
All of these are minor comments, however. The book was still delightful to devour, and so full of good-natured optimism about women, loving women, and optimism about connecting with others that this reader couldn't help but finish with a smile on her face.
