The Las Vegas we know was conceived -- if anybody really conceived it -- in 1931, when Nevada liberalised its divorce and gambling laws, which would ultimately transform the city into America's playground for grown-ups. It was also the year an unprecedented engineering project began, that would turn the Colorado River from a wild killer stream to a wild reservoir that waters not only California vegetables but also sprawling Las Vegas suburbs. From 1905 to 1931, Las Vegas was still a tiny oasis in a big, dangerous desert. Its isolated people made their own swamp coolers, their own entertainment and sometimes their own whiskey. The author, Joan Burkhardt Whitely, enlisted older Las Vegans to help capture the memories of a Mojave Mayberry where neighbours took care of each other, not merely because no one else would, but because it was their hometown, and they cared.

Born and raised in Las Vegas when it was a dusty little cowboy town of 5,165 souls, Roberta "Bobbie" Kane has seen all the spectacular changes to her hometown, arguably the entertainment and sports capital of the world. Roberta's grandparents and parents were pioneers in Las Vegas. When they immigrated in the 1930s, there were only a handful of Jewish families. Roberta was the first Jewish child born in Las Vegas. Today, there is a vigorous, intelligent, progressive Jewish population of 80,000 in Las Vegas. Ensconced at the University of Southern California with a rebellious and energetic streak, she married early, had three exceptional children, and embarked on adventures throughout the world. Her career included Convention Saleswoman at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, Public Relations Director for the Ilikai Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii, and partner in Kane International Corporation in the Islands. Her experiences in New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and Europe led to some funny mishaps-the $201 banana-as well as star encounters during the filming of Hawaii Five-O, the return of the Apollo13 astronauts, and privileged interactions with Jack Benny, and many others. In 1971 she met the true love of her life, the dashing Alex Kane. Scottish born, and New Zealand raised, he was a World War II Spitfire pilot and a businessman new to Hawaii. She never let him go. Fortunate, appreciative, ready to admit her high energy and spirit of adventure have led to mistakes, she enjoys a healthful, loving relationship with her friends back in Las Vegas.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ... including the ghosts, unexplained phenomenon, and other spooky happenings. The strip is much more than bright lights, gambling, wild shows, and quick marriage ceremonies. Haunted Las Vegas reveals the true mysteries of Sin City and brings the old legends to life in a chilling way. The Flamingo: Listed as one of the ten most haunted sites in America by the Wall Street Journal, the Flamingo Hotel is home to the ghost of Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. A known gangster, Bugsy is often called the man who invented Las Vegas. Even though he was killed in Hollywood, his ghost reportedly remains at the Flamingo. The Demon Swing: In the dead of night, many people reportedly see smoke or mist surrounding Fox Ridge Park, home of the boy ghost on the demon swing. It is unknown how the ghost ended up in the park, but beware of this unfriendly boy--he is known to push people off the swings.

From the award-winning, wildly popular author of Such a Rush and Going Too Far comes a fun and sexy new adult romantic comedy with a paranormal twist, available exclusively as an eBook. Twenty-one-year-old showgirl Holly Starr is sick and tired of assisting her dad, a celebrity magician, in his Las Vegas casino magic show. As soon as he keeps his promise to her and shares the secrets to his tricks, she can break out on her own. But can she really make it? For years Holly has taken medication to stave off crazy hallucinations that she can levitate objects. Just when she thinks she’s ready to make a career and a life for herself, her medicine—and her luck—run out. Elijah Brown suffers from a similar delusion—he thinks he can read minds—and he’s out of medicine too. Determined to save himself and his old flame Holly, he kidnaps her and takes her to a town high in the Rockies where their medicine is made. What they discover there leads them to suspect their powers are not imaginary after all...and neither is the intense attraction they feel for each other. They make a pact to stick together as they return to Vegas to confront the people who kept them in the dark for so long. But soon they’re pitting their powers against each other in a dangerous world where the nightlife is seductive, domination is addictive, the sex is beyond belief...and falling in love can lead to murder.
