Reviews

[Lance · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fun group of stories from the crazy days of Las Vegas before the corporations stepped in and turned it into Disneyland in the Desert. The true stories are short and entertaining (and often bizarre) and take the reader back to a time when Las Vegas was at the peak of its quirky charm.

[Andrew · Rating 3 out of 5]

Basic information about the inside operations of Vegas casinos. Good for a novice, but nothing new here for experienced visitors.

[Abelardo Mendoza · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read book for anybody who wants to try gambling for the first time and as well as for the experienced gambler!

[William · Rating 2 out of 5]

Contains many interesting stories about Las Vegas.
