5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book!,

This review is from: Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has watched this movie. The book was written after the movie which is a bit odd but well worth the read. It fills in a lot of the gaps the movie doesn't have time for.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: CASINO (Hardcover)
This book IS NOT fiction. It is the true story that the movie Casino was based on.In the book, the names have not been changed and there are a few more details than in the movie. If you like the movie, I suggest reading the book to get the whole picture of what went down.
3.0 out of 5 stars
At the end the writer misses the point,

This review is from: CASINO (Hardcover)
The book is good at the beginning, I can't tell you that it goes out of the story because everything written in the book is related to the story, but some parts of the book are really boring.Everybody knows that in Vegas the mob owns the hotels & casinos at least at first, but what I really don't believe is that the casinos now, at this moment are the cleanest business in the country, maybe they don't take the money as 30 years ago, but I'm sure that in Vegas are many tricks with the bets and the money no matter if now in Vegas have one theme park in every hotel & casino. At the end of the book, if the wife of "lefty" Rosenthal was killed or not, who really cares?
