Brian Rouff
LOSING LAS VEGAS
Jimmy Delaney in on another bad roll. His ex-wife is cranky. A home-less guy keeps scaring the hell out of him. Burglars clean out all the coins from the video poker machines at his saloon, Jimmy D's. His accountant is missing - with all the bar's money. He can't get a loan because the IRS has a lien on the joint and a rogue revenue agent with a personal grudge is seizing Jimmy D's on Friday unless Delaney can come up with $50,000 in back taxes.
Losing streaks in Las Vegas can be the worst in the world. And then a mysterious woman enters his life. A karma-spouting planet-charting colon-cleansing floozy - the Dice Angel. Can Delaney save Jimmy D's with a supernaturally hot hand at the crap tables at Luxor? Or does Lady Luck bite off, chew up, and spit out another Las Vegas loser...

- Andy Bellin, author of Poker Nation
"A howl of a book - Brian Rouff's rapier wit, jaundiced view of gambling, and affectionate character portrayals combine to reveal the tragicomic essence of Las Vegas."
- Anthony Curtis, publisher of the Las Vegas Advisor
"Check out Brian Rouff's entertaining novel. It may be the closest you hard-luck types get to a happy ending."
- John L. Smith, Las Vegas Review-Journal
