Johnny Vegas (Character)

Johnny Vegas is a character in several of Tim Dorsey's novels. Despite being young, handsome, and moderately wealthy, he is known (at least through the narrative) as "The Accidental Virgin". Each time Vegas encounters a willing woman, something happens to ruin the situation. The intervening occurrences are frequently highly improbable or outlandish, such as finding floating corpses while on a speedboat, witnessing an apparent suicide from a bridge, et cetera.

Vegas' character is far from sympathetic, however. He is somewhat stupid, arrogant, vain, sex-obsessed, and has very few morals. Unlike some other recurring peripheral characters (such as Detective Mahoney), Vegas is used almost entirely for comic relief rather than in advancing the plot.
