This is an absolute sleeper of a book. Couldnt put it down being a Las Vegas junkie. Martinez gets an advance of 50k dollars to write this book and go to Vegas and bet it all. He has detailed accounts of all casinos, restaurants, shows and other activities that takes place. I couldnt put the book down since i have stayed and gambled at the same casinos he does. He describes the rooms, waitresses and personal encounters in detail. I wish i could have been with him through is once in a lifetime journey. Be sure to read and find out how much money he actually came home with.
Well-written and funny, although he has a rather casual attitude towards losing an awful lot of money.
