[from the back cover] "Las Vegas wa a city with no memory. It was the place you went for a second chance." From Nicholas Pileggi, comes this brilliantly told tale of love, marriage, adultry, murder, and revenge Mafia-style. Both a love story and a bigger-than-life business story, CASINO exposes the secrets of Las Vegas's multibillion dollar casino gambling industry--and how the mob finally lost its stranglehold over it. CASINO is a real-life love story as well as Pileggi's inside account, in never-before-published detail, of a Mafia disaster---how the mob lost its control of the neon moneymaking machine it created. As one of the participants stated when it was all over, " We were given paradise on earth, but we F***** it all up."
