Reviews

It's a fascinating book. Rich in story and the kind of historic detail one hears from casino professionals at the end of a long night. In using the state's gaming control institutions to tell the story of Las Vegas, however, Jeff Burbank gets the truth, and from the sources and people who can document what happened. For fans of Las Vegas, and I am one, start reading and you can't stop. - Nicholas Plieggi, author of Wise Guy and Casino
