Book Reviews of When the Mob Ran Vegas: Stories of Money, Mayhem and Murder

Book Review: A must-have Las Vegas Book
Summary: 4 Stars

I have read many Vegas books but I learnt loads from this well-written volume,including: The Moulin Rouge - Vegas' first multi-racial casino; the truth about Howard Hughes' acquisitions and some great Frank Sinatra stories. The familiar stories: the Stardust skim and Teamster loans are presented with new information. If you like Las Vegas literature and/or history you must buy this book.
