    Does anyone have some good reccommendations on casino/Las Vegas/gambling books? I am not looking for how to books. More on stories of or novels. I am heading to Disney for two weeks with the family and we are driving. So I need good reading material. Thanks!

    Dice Angel by Brian Rouff is a mystery set in Las Vegas. It is a quick read. One of the folks on our website, Chuco, said it was a cute fiction story about a guy, a bar, and a need to raise 50k by winning at craps.

    Here is a link to other books:

    A bunch of casino related books

    Chuco where have you been? Are you still around LA? we really need to get the LA folks together for a social get together and maybe set up some practice session this year. And some trips to LV.

    I loved Dice Angel

    Also check out Blackjack Autumn.

    Let me think a while I will come up with more

    Btw I have written a sort of gambling related novel. It is in draft form. Anyone want to proofread, edit and publish it? 🙂

    There is also an entire series of Tony Valentine mysteries by James Swain. This are all pretty good.
