Bringing Down the House
Category: History: 20th Century
Author: Ben Mezrich
Copyright/published Year: 2002 by Free Press
ISBN: 0743225708
Binding: trade pap
Master storyteller Ben Mezrich takes you from the ivory towers of
academia to the Technicolor world of Las Vegas, where anything
can happen -- and often does. Bringing Down the House launches
you into the seedy underworld of corporate Vegas -- deep into the
realm of back rooms, ever-present video cameras, private
investigators, and the threats and tactics of pit bosses and
violent heavies. Equipped with twenty different aliases and
disguises, the group of young card counters struggles around
these roadblocks to live the high life -- until one fateful day
when Vegas violently follows them home to Boston. Suddenly, there
can be no more hiding behind false identities; the high life
folds like a bad hand of cards.
Filled with tense action and incredibly close calls, Bringing
Down the House is a real-life mix of Liar's Poker and Ocean's
Eleven -- and it's a story Vegas doesn't want you to read.
