Journalist Raoul Duke and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, arrive in Las Vegas to cover a desert motorcycle race. With a car full of drugs and little interest in staying on assignment, their trip quickly spirals into a surreal procession of casinos, hotel rooms and increasingly chaotic encounters.

Beneath the outrageous behaviour and dark comedy lies a sharp examination of American excess and the fading promises of the 1960s counterculture.

Illustrated by Ralph Steadman, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas combines satire, autobiography and gonzo journalism in a wild, unsettling journey through the American Dream.
