Lost Vegas to Appear on a College Syllabus



Thanks to a dear friend of mine who is a college English professor, Lost Vegas will be discussed in one of his classes!

This semester Shamus is teaching a special course titled Poker in American Film and Culture. Man, if I had Shamus as my prof, I would have not ditched class to follow the Grateful Dead and I would have actually gone to class (albeit, I would have been stoned to the bejesus, but at least he's teaching a subject that I'd be thrilled about). Anyway, you can imagine how thrilled (and floored) that I was upon learning that Shamus selected a chapter out of Lost Vegas as part of the required reading for the course. I can't believe that I'm in the mix with the Mount Rushmore of poker scribes, along with several of the most historical pieces of gambling/poker cinema in the history of film making. Now, if I can just figure out how to audit that class...

Atlanta Gambling Examiner's Review

James Pickard penned a review of Lost Vegas for the Atlanta's Gambling Examiner.

Here's a bit:
The book is filled with the darker side of Las Vegas, which he calls "Lost Vegas": a world of prostitutes, substance abuse, and problem gambling. Yet, somehow, McGuire retains the humor necessary to survive the existential wasteland in the desert of Nevada, and he even manages to find some redemptive qualities amid the orgy of desperation.
Read the full review here.
