Glitter and lights, endless boulevards, giant hotels with rooftop pools, pyramids, Eiffel Towers and Statues of Liberty, casinos, beautiful women, the clatter of slot machines and the roulette ball: into this the stories mix a handful of Bulgarian emigrant life in Las Vegas, simmered for ten years. A cheerful, slightly cynical guide leads the reader through the streets of Sin City, where every corner hides a new story, a new acquaintance or a memory blurred by spirits, among loud talk, cigarette smoke, mystics and boors. Presiding over it all is Troy, the standard-bearer of the city's Bulgarian diaspora, whose prophet the narrator claims to be, and the line between reality and the mystical keeps dissolving.
