Mr. Taylor gives insight on the internal workings of a Las Vegas hotel that only someone who is an insider could. As with all of Mr. Taylor's books on historical events, it is filled with interesting information from well preserved archives. It would be worth your while to purchase if you have an interest in the history of Las Vegas or the hotel industry.
