Slim Chance is a fast-paced, hilarious story narrated by James B. "Slim" Chance, the slightly chubby PR Director of a once-great-but-now-struggling Las Vegas hotel-casino. The story takes place in1989 as, across the street, The Mirage hotel/casino opens its doors, signaling the beginning of the end of the Golden Age of Las Vegas and the beginning of the Age of the Las Vegas Mega-Resorts.

Slim's hotel, the Vegas Castle, represents all that was wonderful about that Golden Age. Those who have loved Las Vegas over the years will love "Slim Chance" for its nostalgic representation of Las Vegas of yesteryear! Everyone else will get a delightful chuckle from it and fall in love with the self-effacing perpetual loser Slim and the book's other zany characters.

"Everybody with ears, from the Strip east to Lake Mead, must have heard the bomb that killed Lefty Needham." Slim takes it from there!
