For nearly five years, he was known as the 'Darling Of Las Vegas'; the biggest high roller to hit Sin City in decades, a hotshot, twenty one year-old kid with a seemingly unlimited bankroll and an even more unlimited lust for big money action. His name was Semyon Dukatch, and stories swirled in his wake. Some said he was a Russian arms dealer, others a pop star from Eastern Europe. But the truth was even more unlikely: he was a twenty-one year old graduate student who had a plan that would one day make him richer than anyone could possibly imagine. The Darling of Las Vegas quickly became a legend in the casino world. He is the only person banned from the island of Aruba. He was held, at gunpoint, in a cave in Monte Carlo and told that if he ever returned, he'd be murdered. And he made millions of dollars playing blackjack, using three simple techniques that gave him the edge, techniques that are revealed in this book for the first time. This is his story, the ultimate true story of Las Vegas, the book Vegas doesn't want you to read...

Mezrich's most popular piece is no doubt Bringing Down the House but I think that almost helps in this situation. I was not sure what to expect from this and I think it is far better written. Right from the opening chapter you are thrown in to a chaotic frenzy where it is refreshing to see that the protagonist is not the perfect "American" child but in fact of Russian origin. This makes the purpose of his mission far more important as he breaks the Great American Machine that is the casinos. Cultural Significance? Plenty. But that is just one interpretation.

It has pace, suspense, and as is expected, romance. But the best part of the romance is that it is not forced; it is real, believable and when reading about Semyon, you feel like you are right there with him at every single turn.

Definately a strong read, highly entertaining, and a story that will linger under the skin long after the pages are shut.
