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