VEGAS, The MOB, and the dead pig on the dance floor...

Read about "Mikey," who allowed fate to take over, in 1958, as he found himself in Las Vegas with a letter of introduction to the Mob's Main Man and earns their trust while living a series of adventures from befriending Frank Sinatra to the gaming finesse of a gambling expert. Michael witnesses events from the amusing christening of Caesar's Palace to finding Bugsy Segal's secret hidden passageway! Each chapter is a unique story that leaves one with the warmth of a "Stand By Me" then catapults the reader into a world, unexperienced by most, much like "Chicago". Witness the untold stories of Las Vegas in its glamour era!

5Great Collection of Memories of Trying to Make It While LV Grew Up  Aug 02, 2008
I bought the book & met the author at a book signing. I kept it in my "back pocket" because it can read as either a compilation of fascinating short stories about early Vegas; or as a can't-put-it-down chronology of an entrepreneur trying to make a living in a rapidly growing, unique city.

4Loving Las Vegas  Jun 03, 2008
If you love Vegas and get a kick out of reading Vegas history, then this is the book for you. The real special aspect of this book is that it is written by a successful dealer who worked during the "Mob" days and also during the more recent "big business" days. Michael Broderick's thoughtful stories run from the sublime through the whole gamut of emotions. I assure you, you'll love them all.

5Vegas at its best...  Oct 28, 2007
Mikey has produced a book that will entertain and educate the reader that wants to know what 'Old' Vegas was like back in the day! He takes the real and makes it intersting, and puts real people in it to keep everything exactly how it was! (Thanks for not telling EVERYTHING Mikey!!) Couldn't put it down until I was finished. Mikey, Great Job!!!

This book is is a gem. Straight from the street (and heart). Mr. Broderick has succeeded in taking the reader on a delightful journey to the inside of old Las Vegas.
