Book Reviews of When the Mob Ran Vegas: Stories of Money, Mayhem and Murder
Book Review: A bit light on facts
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was recommended to me by a bookstore in Vegas. They didn't have it in stock so I purchased it from Amazon on my return to Australia.
While I found this book very informative and factual, it is rather repetitive at times and I found myself asking, "didn't I just read that?" It is apparent in some sections that the information is fairly scrambled and does not flow.
This book is more or less a summary of the days when the mob ran Vegas, as opposed to a detailed account of this era.
Of note, even though the book contains 240 pages, the font is somewhat larger than most books and can be read in a matter of hours.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who is after a brief run down on the mob and the days they ran Vegas.
