http://schema.org/description
- "By now, everyone knows the story of the mob's involvement in Las Vegas's growth from quiet desert town to "Sin City.". At the end of the movie Casino, you see a hotel come down and a voice describes the end of the mob era in Vegas. That was hardly the end of the Las Vegas story; in fact, it was just the beginning. This book tells the story of the corporate raiders--the Kirk Kirkorians and the Steve Wynns--who moved in as the mob era crumbled (literally) and forcibly cleaned up the Vegas image. Now Las Vegas is a place for "family entertainment," its theme-park feel carefully crafted by a handful of savvy corporate moguls who use that image to extract the maximum profit out of those drawn to the city.--From publisher description."
