Very interesting history of Las Vegas. ( )

The typical entertaining type of book that Patterson delivers. This is a numerous series of profiles and stories about the weirdness and wonders that is Las Vegas.

I lived for a short time in the city so experienced some of the craziness first hand. Vegas will certainly make its impression on you one way or the other.

The amazing stories shine a light on how things operate behind the surface show of glitz and glitter. One of those types of books to just sit back and enjoy.

Vegas will always be the escape destination where most rules and regulations don't always apply. Except of course for the odds of the games in the favor of those who operate them. Money rules this otherworld, and some are lucky to walk away with a piece usually by pulling that handle in the right place at the right time. But be aware, these amazing sights and experiences are there thanks to your fair share contribution! ( )
