What Happens In Vegas Lasts Forever When Sallie Coleman abandons Texas to follow her dreams in Las Vegas, she never imagines she'll win so soon--and so big. But a stroke of luck makes her the richest, most powerful businesswoman in Nevada, and in no time at all her transformation is complete--when she marries Philip Thornton and becomes Vegas's most elegant first lady. Like her future mother-in-law before her, Pennsylvania beauty Fanny Logan makes her fortune in Vegas, building one of the city's most successful clothing empires. Her wedding to Ash Thornton, the visionary behind the magnificent Babylon casino, is like a happy ending to their fairytale lives. But Ash's greatest triumph may be his ultimate downfall. . .

A Great, Entertaining and Fast Read

I really enjoyed reading this first in the series of three family saga books. Fern Michaels does an excellent job of pulling you into the story. It's nearly impossible to put this book down...it is packed with new dilemmas, and you can't wait to see how they turn out. I just started the second in the series, and I know I will have to read all three so I know the lives of all of these characters will turn out OK. Finally, the writing style is very easy (but interesting) to read, so you move along quickly.
Best book I have read in a long time

Vegas Rich demands it be read in one sitting...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
The story line in Vegas Rich not only compels one to read the book non-stop, but also leaves the reader anticipating the next novel in the saga. I particularly enjoyed how Michael's weaves the diverse personalities, intricate character traits and various themes throughout several generations while maintaining a healthy balance and resistance between the "good" and "bad" characters. The tensions this creates propell one through the book, leaving no room for apathy or boredom. By the time the reader has finished the book, he/she feels like part of the family and hates to "leave". Michael's on-going theme of "family helping family" is a welcome value statement offseting the commentary of greed and self-indulgence that her "bad" characters manifest. I look forward to reading the next two books of this series.
