Fat Old Woman in Las Vegas: Gambling, Dieting and Wicked Fun

By Pat Dennis

Pat travels the two thousand miles alone from Minnesota to Sin City by car, train and greyhound bus. Pat's ability to take an honest and often hilarious look at aging, declining health, out-of-control gambling and a myriad of nueroses, make this an inspiring, funny and enjoyable read.Pat Dennis' short stories and humor appear in magazines such as Woman's World and Minnesota Public Radio's, Minnesota Monthly.
