“The new book Double or Nothing: How Two Friends Risked It All To Buy One of Las Vegas’ Legendary Casinos (HarperCollins, $24.95), the coolest Vegas production this side of Vinnie Favorito’s standup.”
“This book, while is a true story, reads like a novel. The story is an amazing ‘rag to riches’ tale about two young men who make their second million by the age of 35! But it’s not just the ’story’ that makes this book a good read. The authors flesh out their tales with advice on how to make your own dreams come true. It’s an excellent read.”
“I think the real strength of this book is the vivid and moving picture it paints of a real-life friendship and partnership between two starkly different personalities who continue to create wealth in creative ways.”
