Book Reviews of the Double or Nothing: How Two Friends Risked It All to Buy One of Las Vegas' Legendary Casinos
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
Wow! This book was a huge disappoint for me. The reviews, taglines and first chapter all talk about the action of "Mr. Royalty". I thought I was in for a book about gambling and Las Vegas. While there were plenty of anecdotes and stories about those things, that is not what this book is about. All of the conflict about the odds and the limits of the casino introduced in the first chapter are wrapped up as almost a footnote towards the end of the book.
It was like watching a movie where the first scene occurs and then the next 80% of the movie is a flashback of related, but not the same type of, material.
If you're looking for a book about business deals and friendships, this is the book for you. If you're looking for a book about Las Vegas and gaming, keep looking.
