What is it like to take two months off from your life and travel alone throughout Nevada, playing blackjack in every casino in the state? Barry Meadow did just that. Leaving behind his business, his fiancée, and his son, he set out with a suitcase, a tape recorder, and $8,000 on the trip of a lifetime. He had no idea what he would find. All he knew was that every day would be an adventure and every joint would be a risk. Meadow ran into cowboys and Indians, suffered the Stardust curse, split tens in Winnemucca and learned more about the real world of gambling than anyone should have to know. It's a tale that only Meadow, with wit and wisdom, could tell. And it's all true. You'll never forgetBlackjack Autumn.
