Busting Vega$

Ben Mezrich, author of eight books, recently published Busting Vegas. The book is based on a true story of excess sex, love, violence, and beating the odds in Vegas. They aren't card counters but using a new unique and powerful system.

Semyon Dukach and a group of brilliant MIT students set out to take the world's greatest casinos and all they are worth. Using fake identities they hit casino after casino pushing odds in their favor. Slowly, they rake in millions of dollars and the stakes get higher. Semyon keeps pushing the group to extremes and it takes exceptional luck and skill to make it out alive.

Ironically I bought this book in Las Vegas while waiting on a connecting flight to NYC. I read it over two weeks during my commute to work. I loved the book. Vegas is a place I enjoy and gambling is something that sparks my interest.

If you are planning a trip to Vegas pick this book up and it will surely get you excited.

If you are looking for a non-fiction book about people actually beating the house, this book is for you as well.

Ben Mezrich is a great author and I really enjoyed his writing style. This is a book I didn't want to put down.

I give this 4 of 5 stars.
