Do You Travel? Do You Gamble? Buy This Book!
Michael Wiesenberg's exhaustively researched book is a superb guide to the casinos of the world. I'm no world traveller, but I've been to some relatively obscure casinos off the beaten track throughout the USA and Europe, and, let me tell you, Mr. Wiesenberg got the facts right on every one.
