Product Description

READ THE UNTOLD STORY YOU DIDN'T SEE ON TV!

Join Ed Deline, President of Operations for the Montecito Resort & Casino, and his protégé, Danny McCoy, a former U.S. Marine and Las Vegas native, as they deal with card-counting cheaters, costly streaks of random luck, and rival casinos stealing their big-money players in the town deservedly known as Sin City....

Summer. The Montecito has been demolished, and its tight-knit staff has been similarly dismantled, scattered to the four winds.

Big Ed and Nessa find intrigue in London, as they try to solve the mystery of her father's fate....

While running his dad's construction company, Danny learns that his ex-fiancée Mary is in danger, and takes it upon himself to do something about it....

Mike is working at a rival casino, but when he uncovers a suspicious plot afoot, he finds himself becoming the boy who cried wolf....

Delinda takes on the challenge of managing an exclusive nightclub, but her tempestuous relationship with a pro football player causes unforeseen troubles....

And Sam scrambles to reestablish her reputation (and her bank account).

Find out everything you missed during the long hot summer when Danny and his friends struggled to go their separate ways. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to fill in the gaps!, May 14, 2006

By	Snoopy (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

I just happened upon this book by accident, and I am thrilled that I did. When the season ended in May 2005, the Montecito had been imploded and all the characters were scattered everywhere. When the new season began, it was as if it were "real time" and six months had passed in the characters' lives as well. A lot of issues weren't really touched upon in the TV show, especially with Nessa in England. This book does a marvelous job at picking up right where the TV show left off and creates a satisfying timeline for the characters, right up to when the season began again in Fall 2005.
And I would like to say "thank you" to the Las Vegas TV show producers, who incorporated a bit of this book into the season finale in May 2006 with Ed Deline casually mentioning Nessa's "disappearance". Read the book to find out more!
