I can't wait to get this one. I have his "Nevada's Golden Age of Gambling" and it is fantastic. Al is a true gaming historian, he even started a little news letter that was the first step in getting this CC & GTCC going. I am very happy to call Al a friend. Here is his write up on this book.

"The Roots of Reno" follows the early Nevada gamblers and casino and mine owners from the late 1800's - through the streets of Tonopah and Goldfield and up north to Reno. By the late 1920's their power and policies stretched up to Lake Tahoe and far into Northern California, and Reno would never be the same.

The Grand old Dame of the Lake, North Shore's Cal-Neva, was the setting for thirty years of gaming intrigue and excitement - before it was taken over by Frank Sinatra and made available to his friends: Mob boss Sam Giancana, Marilyn Monroe, the Kennedy's, and a host of popular stars.

Sixty years of Nevada casino history are wrapped up here. Don't miss it!
