SUMMARY:High Noon: Something for Your Money — A History of Las Vegas Casinos
DESCRIPTION:This month\, Neal Cobb will be joined by David G. Schwartz\, 
 Ombuds\, professor\, and gaming historian at the University of Nevada\, Las 
 Vegas. His book Something for Your Money shares stories about how Las Vegas 
 became — and stayed — America’s gambling capital\, focusing on the 
 casinos that made it famous and the hustlers\, gangsters\, 
 number-crunchers\, and dreamers who made them and those who fought against 
 Las Vegas — and gave the town its defining myth.\n\n Las Vegas has been a 
 gambling town since its 1905 founding. Its gambling halls\, casino hotels\, 
 and resorts made it first a local curiosity\, then a national obsession\, 
 and finally a global destination. The modern American casino resort was 
 born on a lonely stretch of road that\, within a decade\, would become 
 known as the Las Vegas Strip.\n\nSchwartz earned his Ph.D. in United States 
 History from UCLA. He has written several books\, and teaches casino 
 history\, video games\, conspiracy theories\, alternate history\, and jazz 
 history.\n\n \n\n
