Sobre IBD

这是一本引人入胜，又充满知识内涵的书，一部真实的美国赌城发展故事。去过拉斯维加斯的人往往会奇怪，在这样一片广袤苍凉的大漠荒原中怎么会突然冒出一座如此灯火辉煌的大城市? 这本小书就是尝试用一个个极富传奇色彩的故事来讲讲百余年来这座城市是怎样从无到有，由小到大的。这座城市每走一步都与美国各个历史时期的重大事件息息相关，书中描述赌城发展背后风云变幻的历史事件，如一次次惊心动魄的探险，美国领土的扩张，狂热的淘金潮，铁路大王的西部追梦，腥风血雨中形成的现代犯罪辛迪加，呼风唤雨、经营赌城四十来年的黑手党，黑帮皇后的爱恨情仇 ......这里既不乏大的历史背景叙述，也充满种种曲折的人生经历，社会众生相，从草根开拓者到黑帮大佬，性情古怪的老富豪，天马行空、赤手空拳打天下的新贵，享誉世界的摇滚巨星，粉丝无数的白老虎兄弟，狂输上亿的赌徒，惨遭欺凌的妓女，各色人等的悲欢离合，人生百态。在鲜活的历史叙述中，感知这个另类、大胆、荒唐，又充满活力与创意的城市是怎样一路走来。由真实的故事组成一部充满动感的百年风云录，一幅贴近读者的城市风情画卷。  拉斯维加斯是一座兼有'罪恶之城'和'世界娱乐会展之都'两顶帽子的名城。人们说：'没到过拉斯维加斯就不算到过美国。'用时下的话说，这座城市确实'很美国'，一个可以了解这个庞大多元国家的窗口。
