[close] A preview of the NEW book by Andy Martello
Available now at www.andymartello.com, www.createspace.com/4397742 and at Amazon.com

After a horrific blaze destroyed Willie Martello's El Rey Club in 1962, nearly fifty years would pass before anyone knew of how that tiny casino provided a template for present-day gambling resorts, upset the Las Vegas mob, and inadvertently launched the career of Francis Ford Coppola.

Were it not for the chance discovery of a single photo in a Las Vegas museum, the El Rey Club would be known only as the seedy brothel where Senator Harry Reid learned to swim. Martello's outrageous exploits and accomplishments should place him among magnates like Howard Hughes or Steve Wynn, yet very few know his name.

Lost for over 60 years these vibrant TRUE STORIES are now brought to light!
