Rolling on the Strip

September 28th, 2006 by Dave

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have your name in lights on the Las Vegas Strip–literally–I’m happy to say that I can tell you that it feels pretty good. Mandalay Bay has put the ad for the October 7 International Launch Event in the rotation for the LCD marquees, and, thanks to the magic of digital photography and YouTube, you can see it even if you’re not on the Strip:

Thanks to everyone at the Reading Room, Gotham Books, and Mandalay Bay for making this signing happen. If you are in Las Vegas on October 7, you should definitely put this on your itinerary. And those of you living in Las Vegas, please come out to support a local author and a local bookseller.I’m not sure where the afterparty will be, but I’m leaning towards the Carousel Bar at Circus Circus, if only to enjoy the town’s only rotating bar. We’ll probably end up just doing something at Mandalay Bay, though.
