Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas

CASINO

From Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy â‚¬"the #1 bestseller that became Martin Scorseseâ‚¬s Academy Awardâ‚¬â€œwinning film GoodFellasâ‚¬"comes the brilliantly told true story of love, marriage, adultery, murder, and revenge, Mafia-style . . . the shattering inside account of how the mob finally lost its stranglehold over the neon money-making machine it created: the multibillion-dollar casino gambling industry of Las Vegas.

CASINO

No one knew more about casinos than Frank â‚¬Å“Leftyâ‚¬Â Rosenthal, the gambling mastermind who, along with his best friend and partner, Anthony Spilotro, virtually ran Las Vegas for the mob. For years, it was the perfect arrangementâ‚¬"Lefty provided the smarts, while Tony kept the bosses happy with their weekly suitcases filled with millions in skimmed cash. It should have lasted forever, but Leftyâ‚¬s obsession with running the townâ‚¬"and Tonyâ‚¬s obsession with Leftyâ‚¬s beautiful showgirl wife, Geriâ‚¬"eventually led to the betrayals and investigations that exploded into one of the greatest debacles in mob history.
