Download or read book Casino written by Nicholas Pileggi and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story behind the Martin Scorsese film: A “riveting . . . account of how organized crime looted the casinos they controlled” (Kirkus Reviews). Focusing on Chicago bookie Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal and his partner, Anthony Spilotro, and drawing on extensive, in-depth interviews, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Mafia classic Wiseguy—basis for the film Goodfellas—Nicholas Pileggi reveals how the pair worked together to oversee Las Vegas casino operations for the mob. He unearths how Teamster pension funds were used to take control of the Stardust and Tropicana and how Spilotro simultaneously ran a crew of jewel thieves nicknamed the “Hole in the Wall Gang.” For years, these gangsters kept a stranglehold on Sin City’s brightly lit nightspots, skimming millions in cash for their bosses. But the elaborate scheme began to crumble when Rosenthal’s disproportionate ambitions drove him to make mistakes. Spilotro made an error of his own, falling for his partner’s wife, a troubled showgirl named Geri. It would all lead to betrayal, a wide-ranging FBI investigation, multiple convictions, and the end of the Mafia’s longstanding grip on the multibillion-dollar gaming oasis in the midst of the Nevada desert. Casino is a journey into 1970s Las Vegas and a riveting nonfiction account of the world portrayed in the Martin Scorsese film of the same name, starring Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. A story of adultery, murder, infighting, and revenge, this “fascinating true-crime Mob history” is a high-stakes page-turner (Booklist).

Book excerpt: Die in Neuenburg ansässigen Architekten Geninsaca Delefortrie machen seit einigen Jahren mit ihren Projekten auf sich aufmerksam. Die Art und Weise der Projektrealisierung, die Geninasca Delefortrie betreiben ist ebenso ungewöhnlich wie sie einen Weg jenseits der gängigen Akquiseformen weist. Spätestens mit dem Bau des neuen städtische Fussballstadion in der Maladière, drang das Büro auch in das Bewusstsein einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit. Das Büro ist damit nicht nur zur treibenden Kraft der lokalen Architekturszene geworden, sondern, viel wichtiger, auch der Stadtentwicklung und damit Beispiel, wie Architektur bewusst städtische Entwicklungsprozesse beeinflussen und auch lenken kann. Die Architekten sind dabei – das ist das besondere– ihre eigenen Auftraggeber: Sie definieren städtische Grundstücke mit Entwicklungspotenzial und gehen dann auf die Städte zu, um gemeinsam mit den zuständigen Ämtern Bebauungspläne wie Konzept für die Bebauung zu entwickeln. Mit der ersten Monografie über Geninasca Delefortrie wird nun erstmals ihr beeindruckendes Werk einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit präsentiert.

Book excerpt: 'I was thrown out of my first casino in spring of 2000. In the years since then I've kept playing and kept winning, in wigs, under aliases, from behind fake glasses. I've been chased across casino floors; followed outdoors by crazed goons with drawn weapons; pursued in a car at high speeds; and placed wrongfully under arrest. Casinos continue to provide my entire income, along with free rooms, Champagne, and, most important, a mission in life. The heat, this business of getting thrown out, hasn't kept me away from the action at all; it's the very force that keeps me coming back.' Repeat Until Rich is the hotly awaited true adventure of how an average Joe in a dead-end spreadsheet job took to the road as a member of a blackjack card-counting gang taking millions of dollars from casinos across the US. Josh was an Ivy League graduate who grudgingly started a regular life before a chance meeting at a party changed his life forever. This is a brilliantly written memoir first and gambling book second - a universal tale of an everyday guy's unexpected exit into a mysterious and dangerous underworld from which there's no going back. It is a story about finding meaning in a crazed ongoing battle far from the dull and comfortable confines of the 9 to 5 world.
