Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This document from the Real World's Las Vegas episodes (apparently notable for their sexual content) consists of many photographs of and short interviews with the cast members, reminiscing about the only topic they can manage to converse on-namely each other, the crew that surrounded them, their constructed adventures and especially themselves ("I" is the de facto subject of everything). They recount their crushes, both consummated and unconsummated, and assign various stereotypical labels to each other ("southern belle," "diva," etc.). In printed form, the narcissism of the young participants plays out with slightly more thoughtfulness than on TV, and at moments even hits a certain note of retrospective shame-such as when Trishelle, in reflection, avers, "I want everyone to know that the real Trishelle does not get drunk every night." No matter how seemingly shallow or self-involved the participants have been, the show somehow finds mildly interesting vignettes to record. But does it work in book form? Only barely, and if the people weren't so attractive, not at all. (Dec.)

Product Description

SEVEN STRANGERS LIVING TOGETHER IN SIN CITY. IS IT ANY WONDER MTV'S THE REAL WORLD™ LAS VEGAS HAS HIT THE JACKPOT WITH ITS MOST OUTRAGEOUS AND DEBAUCHED SEASON YET?

All bets are off when The Real World hits Las Vegas Strip for the original reality TV show's most decadent episodes so far. Here's all the beyond-the-scenes dish and dirt on Frank, Irulan, Alton, Brynn, Arissa, Steven, and Trishelle -- seven cast members who work their way through the seven deadly sins in grand style, all the while living in a luxury, high-roller suite in one of Las Vegas's hottest new hotel-casinos.

Get the lowdown on the heat between Alton and Irulan and the Steven-Trishelle hook-up -- and find out whether the other roommates think these onscreen couplings will last. Find out which roommate everyone agrees was the sloppiest; who filled out their casting application while intoxicated; who regrets the hot, wet, bathroom threesome, and more. You saw them drinking, smoking, drinking, gambling, drinking, hooking up, passing out, then doing it all over again the next day...and the day after that...and the day after...Now find out what the cast and crew think of each other (or what they remember!) after it's all said and done...then fill out your own application for next season!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Season, Great Book, January 8, 2003

By	Sam (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

I am actually surprised that I enjoyed the Las Vegas cast just as much as previous seasons! The book is just as enjoyable as the actual TV show. It includes a lot of exclusive pictures and some cool info. It's nice that this years cast still somewhat like each other - unlike previous years! This book is up to par with the New Oreleans and New York seasons. I suggest all Real World fans pick it up.

1.0 out of 5 stars RW Chicago is better, December 28, 2002

By A Customer

Don't waste your money on The Real World:Las Vegas book. If you want a good real world book, buy the Real World Chicago book. Chicago was a better and more interesting season.

3.0 out of 5 stars better than the show, December 25, 2003

By	Dance Dance Dance - See all my reviews

the same thing kept happening on this show: hook ups, sex , and drinking. pretty predictable after a while. the book gave us backround info on brynn that the show never bothered to show cause they wanted to focus on the couples.
