Summary

Wall Street Journal reporter Christina Binkley takes a close look at the trio of tycoons whose high-stakes gambles made Sin City soar. This is the story of how billions of dollars and the unparalleled drive for power made the personal visions of three moguls--Kirk Kerkorian, Steve Wynn, and Dr. Gary Loveman--evolve from dreams to larger-than-life reality.--From publisher description
