Title: interesting qualitative field study.
Product review: as a grad student, i rarely have time for pleasure reading, but this book caught my eye and i stayed up a little later each night to read a chapter or two. coming from pittsburgh and living now in syracuse i was delighted to see these cities referenced in the book. the author takes 50k (a tidy sum, but in vegas it's all relative) and gambles around town, while at the same time describing his experiences. i thouroughly enjoyed the book. i liked some of the asides better than others; most were all too brief. i also enjoyed the little tidbits of info that the average tourist would not consider or be privy to. towards the middle of the book, i got a little tired of the fact that his wife came to visit. arguably, a single's perspective would probably have allowed some more candid and interesting observations! I can pack my bags and be ready to go right away! buy the book.
