WINNER OF 12 LITERARY AND DESIGN AWARDS! The unreal but TRUE story of the unknown casino that changed Las Vegas forever! After a horrific blaze destroyed Willie Martello's El Rey Club in 1962, fifty years would pass before anyone knew of how that casino and one-time brothel influenced LAS VEGAS casinos, upset the mob, and inadvertently launched the career of Francis Ford Coppola. Were it not for the chance discovery of a single photo in a Las Vegas museum, the El Rey Club would only be known as the seedy brothel where Senator Harry Reid learned to swim. Martello's accomplishments should place him among magnates like Howard Hughes or Steve Wynn, yet very few know his name. Featuring over 140 rare or unseen photos, these vibrant stories are now brought to light! ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Who else could tell the story of Willie Martello? The rare photos alone are worth the price of admission. My only regret is that I didn't write this book." -Robert Graysmith, New York Times Bestselling Author of Zodiac, Auto-Focus, and Black Fire "Quick, funny, and extremely intelligent!" -Mark L. Walberg,Host, Antiques Roadshow (PBS) "A literal time machine...a read that not only unleashes the imagination, but authenticates the splendor of Las Vegas' golden years." -Todd Newton,Emmy-winning game show host, author, and Las Vegas performer "Andy Martello has written a fascinating biography of Willie Martello. It is a long-awaited addition to my Nevada history shelf." -Mark Hall-Patton,Clark County Museum System Administrator,Pawn Stars, American Restoration (The History Channel) "LONG LIVE WILLIE MARTELLO!" -Richard B.

Steve Wynn is the former owner of the Bellagio — Las Vegas's latest monument to conspicuous consumption whose hotel and casino contain over $300 million in fine art and $1.5 billion in Wall Street money. He's a mogul whose empire at one point included the Mirage, the Golden Nugget, and Treasure Island. But how did he gain and wield his tremendous power in Nevada? And why did a confidential Scotland Yard report prevent him from opening a casino in London? When this biography, written by a local reporter, was first released in 1995, Steve Wynn brought suit against its original publisher and forced him into bankruptcy. Now available in paperback, the inside story of the biggest phenomenon to roil Las Vegas since Hoover Dam gives readers an intimate glimpse at the real business that's conducted beyond the gaming tables.
