Sam Durango is riding high. He's the star of the TV western "The Vegas Kid," he's married to a glamorous actress, and he lives in a beautiful home in the Hollywood Hills. And then everything goes to hell in a hand-basket. When his show is cancelled and his wife leaves him (taking most of his money and the house, while she's at it), Sam finds he has to make his way out in the cold cruel world. Along the way Sam meets up with a ragtag cast of characters, including Sam's arch-rival Buck Beaumont, a mystery woman, a couple of escaped cons, and some of the sharpest gamblers west of the Mississippi--and they're all after one thing, to score the big jackpot at Blackies Casino on Halloween night.

This entry is a riotous collection of vignettes about Nevada and Las Vegas. Peppered with nearly 90 photographs---old and new---Chip-Wrecked reads something like a gigantic Reader's Digest of Las Vegas and Nevada. 
In 70 spellbinding chapters you'll read about strange events that have occurred inside casinos, why video poker is taking over the industry, scams and shams through the ages, the rise and fall of the mighty Dunes Hotel/Casino, the inside story about Las Vegas's tourists traps and who's who and what they do. You'll see actual photos of early gambling, Bugsy Siegel . . . in life and death, inside Hoover Dam---before it filled with water, Reno's famous Virginia Street in the 1930s, craps shooters in the Las Vegas Club in 1947, Louis Prima singing at the Sahara Lounge in 1956, casino surveillance through one-way mirrors, Pappy Smith in Harolds Club with old-time slots, Double Mills slots being played for $10,000, Howard Hughes and other young casino owners, and opening night at the Sands Casino in 1952. Size: 5.5" x 8.5".
