At first I was scared... I thought it was going to be a book about gambling; but it was actually very interesting. I could relate to some of the stories, while others made me laugh. It was a good book. There was only one story I really didn't like. I learned that Vegas can be about so much more than just entertainment.

I liked this...Short story crime writing with Vegas as the backdrop...Obviously, some of the stories worked better than others, but overall, it was a good compliation.
