"Vegas Baby, Vegas!", 17 August 1999
Author: Adriane Simo (adriane7@mindspring.com) from chandler, az

Upon hearing about this movie from friends, I was told that it was "money". They were right. This is "so money and they don't even know it." Entertaining comedy about letting go, and finding new romance and who your real friends are. Enough one-liners to quote for years, friends still quote it today! Nothing but beautiful babies, and a great upbeat soundtrack to get you dancing!
