Nevada
True Tales from the Neon Wilderness

"The moral of the story is that there ain't no moral. The main rule in Nevada is that there ain't no rules because that's what people want.... Crooks are heros here. Heros are crooks. Logic doesn't matter here, because it don't work."

Our Review

Opinion of the webmaster, subject to debate

A collection of stories by a veteran Nevada reporter about gamblers, brothel owners, slot machine cheats and other slippery characters of this distorted state. Nevada attracts extreme personalities, many of them seeking instant wealth. Gas station owner Melvin Dummar bet on a bequest from Howard Hughes - and lost. Brothel owner Joe Conforte thought he could buy the law - and lost. Bomber John Birges tried to extort millions from the casinos - and lost. These Nevada characters sought something for nothing, and got nothing in the end. Fine writing illuminates the dark side of the neon paradise. -- Glenn Campbell
