The Grit Beneath the Glitter: Tales from the Real… par Hal Rothman

Second half of the book becomes more interesting and better written.

Dated material at this point as the book was published in 2002.

If you're interested in Las Vegas this would be a decent read.

Neon Metropolis par Hal Rothman

An odd book. It's generally a fun read, and there's lots of interesting background on America's most fasinating city. But Rothman has an overeager authorial voice, and the book isn't particularly well-organized, with a lot of repetition. A good editor could have raised Neon Metropolis's rating by at least one star.
