Aaron, in case you haven't run across this yet, Lefty has a primo website: http://www.frankleftyrosenthal.com/

You'll find several volumns worth of stories and advice as well as the lowdown on the movie, the book and the real life events. Be sure to check the page "Feature Story" Very, very interesting Vegas and gaming lore. In fact there is a three part story about the first time Lefty came to Las Vegas that is my All-Time favorite Vegas tale.
