I never posted about this book that I read on the plane over to Vegas in February this year but thought with all the talk of books lately that I'd give it a mention.
Basically, the author is given a $50,000 advance by his publishers and has a month to go to Vegas, gamble with it, get used to the place and find out about it. I won't go into detail but it's a very good read full of interesting info and some nice stories of his gambling - it's particularly interesting reading about super high stakes games of baccarat, something I had no idea about.
I highly recommend this, you can get it here:
