"A fascinating book on the inside story of Las Vegas from the 1990s to 2005. Also provides short biographies on Wynn, Kerkorian, Loveman and a few other players in Las Vegas. Gives you an appreciation of the genius of Steve Wynn, who is virtually responsible for making Las Vegas what it is today. Kerkorian sums it up best, after buying out Mirage Resorts from Wynn but selling the Desert Inn to Wynn afterwards. Someone pointed out to Kerkorian that Wynn will build another hotel on the Desert Inn property. Kerkorian replied that this is exactly what he wanted Wynn to do."
"I read this book a few months back, quickly because I enjoyed it alot. It basically covers the building of modern Vegas and the primary competitors there including Wynn, Kerkorian, and Gary Loveman... Lots of business, personality, and feel for what it's like to be in that competive space and lifestyle. I love the entrepreneurial stuff."
"An excellent book. I love reading about Steve and Elaine Wynn and I didn't know too much about Kerkorian or Loveman so it was interesting to find out how Las Vegas became what it is today. I really loved the book, but it may not be as fascinating to those not in the hospitality industry (or at least interested in it)."
