Rebecca Plotnik, college grad, almost 23 and still single, is stuck. In the middle of the desert. It's l962 in Las Vegas, a small town made up of Mormons and Murder, Inc., where vast stretches of desert surround a handful of glitzy Strip hotels. Becky has reluctantly moved back in with her dysfunctional parents. She longs to leave home to be an actress in New York, but has neither the money nor the confidence. To earn enough for a one-way ticket to Broadway, Becky takes a job at a sleazy casino in Glitter Gulch. Her father, who once worked for and still worships the late Bugsy Siegel, approves. Her mother fears Becky will fall in with the wrong kind of people. She does... Packed with equal amounts of humor and pathos, Neon Dreams captures vintage Vegas through colorful characters and a spunky, sympathetic heroine.
