Love, greed and betrayal in the NEVADA mob.

From Nicholas Pileggi, writer of the bestselling Wiseguy — the #1 bestseller that later became the hit movie Goodfellas — comes this brilliantly told story of love, relationship, adultery, murder and revenge Mafia-style, the true story of the way the mob finally lost its stranglehold on the multi-billion-dollar gambling house gaming industry of NEVADA.

No-one knew more about casinos than Frank ‘Lefty’ Rosenthal, the gambling mastermind who, along with his best about Casino: Love and Honor in NEVADA friend and partner Anthony Spilotro virtually ran Las Vegas for the mob. For a long time it was an ideal agreement — Lefty supplied the smarts and obsessive attention to fine detail, while Tony ensured the bosses remained happy with their weekly suitcases filled with huge amount of money in skimmed money. It was so sweet it should have lasted forever, but Lefty’s obsession with operating the city — and Tony’s obsession with Lefty’s beautiful showgirl wife Geri — eventually resulted in the betrayals and investigations that exploded into one of the biggest debacles in the mob’s history.

A real-life tale of love and betrayal set in America’s favorite playground, Casino is a Mafia tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, aswell as the inside account of just how the mob lost control of the neon money-making machine it created.
