...girl might want to live together is for a) incessant, vigorous sex or b) in order to topple civilization. Call me radical, but I find arguments against this legislation extraordinarily easy to dismantle, as they are, for the most part, based upon archaic Biblical fealty to Sodom and Gomorrah, fire and brimstone (Those crazy gays! It’s the new semitism...
...about to start. After sitting all these characters down to dinner in the first chapter, the author devotes the rest of the book to just one of them: Proust. When he arrived at the Majestic party, the French author was at his peak, having just published Sodom and Gomorrah, the startlingly explicit fourth volume of his Remembrance of Things Past.

...Because what Vegas hadn't understood is that, compared with even the most worn-out vices, like keno and showgirls, roller coasters bite. So now Vegas has reinvented itself again, returning to vice but sanitizing it by creating the biggest, nicest place to sin ever imagined, a Sodom and Gomorrah without the guilt. People come to Vegas not to do what they can't do at home but to do it bigger and brassier. The town's logo, "What happens here, stays here," is complete camp. What happens in Vegas, in fact, is bragged about at home for months afterward...
