There must be lots of books about the place, and lots of good ones too; unfortunately I don't know any of them! Do you?

one month passes...

if you're in the whole gambling business "bringing down the house" by ben bezrich is quite a thriller. about a bunch of MIT-students who set up a black jack team to beat vegas.

the system thinking, card counting, role playing-tactics are just awesome although the book could offer more of actual reading-qualities instead of just page turning.

wonderful facts about the town follows along as well: "19 of the worlds 20 largest hotels are in vegas" and such. weel worth reading, especially if you're planning on going there!
