Probing the dark, human stories lurking in the neon shadows, Blue Vegas represents the work of a writer who knows Las Vegas and is a keen observer of its diverse population. These seventeen stories explore the clash between old and new Las Vegas, and the quest for scraps of love and dignity amid the ruins of the lives of has-been showgirls, desperate killers, degenerate gamblers and quick buck mercenaries. Blue Vegas shines a light on the hard luck, faded dreams and lingering anguish faced by people who’ve been trampled by this single minded city.

Another reviewer here pointed out that the LA Times describes this book as a collection of vignettes. I would actually call them introductions. Most of the stories felt like first chapters of longer stories and there were a few times I was actually disappointed that was all I got.I actually bought this point on my Kindle first and started reading it when ever I had a second or two. The short vignette format worked well for this. Then I heard he was doing a signing at his bar, so I bought a regular copy for him to sign. I just hope that if we get another book out him, he actually writes a full story as I like the writing style and the atmosphere he applies to Vegas.

Blue Vegas Stories edition by P Moss Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Its mostly boring. Theres a couple interesting stories, but definately not worth the purchase. I read about 3/4 of the book then quit.
I love reading stories about what people do in las vegas. Some of them are shocking and some are really funny. Good read!!
I loved this book.
The LA Times describes this book as a collection of vignettes rather than stories, and that is quite true. Unfortunately, I found most of these "stories" pretty overwrought and superficial. If only the author would have taken the time to flesh them out a bit more! I swear to god, I was so sure I'd skipped a couple of pages of that "Frank Sinatra's Curse" story that I went to the sink, wet my fingers, and tried to rub two pages of critical narrative out of this thing. As a first attempt at a book, it's meh bordering on OK. But it smacks (to me, anyway) of the kind of flowery, shorthand angst and late-night drunken existentialism that's so popular among smart 18-year-old college guys who are majoring in English and minoring in Nihilistic Cool. (Hey, it could be worse the author could have written this while in his 16-year-old "Ayn Rand is a GOD" stage! OK, that's conjecture. I have no idea if he went through that stage. But somehow I think that he, like many guys who are pushing 60 but still think they're 20, did.) Anybody who wants a really great collection of stories about Vegas would be advised to skip this and instead find a copy of "Literary Las Vegas" (out of print, but available used in lots of places)--another collection of stories that actually ring true and cool.
Great little stories, well written. Everyone knows there's a seamy side to Vegas, but the underbelly has never been expressed with so much insight as found in these stories. More!
I am very happy with my purchase!
THIS BOOK SHOULD BE RATED UP FRONT SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING BEFORE THEY BUY IT...IT IS AN INSULT TO VEGAS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE CULTURE IN VEGAS ONLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE STRIP
