A memoir of growing up in mob-run Sin City from a casino
heir-turned-governor who's seen two sides of every coin
When Bob Miller arrived in Las Vegas as a boy, it was a small,
dusty city, a far cry from the glamorous, exciting place it is
today. Driving the family car was his father Ross Miller, a tough
guy--though a good family man--who had operated on both sides of
the law on some of the meaner streets of industrial Chicago.
The Miller family was as close and as warm as "Ozzie and Harriet,"
as long as you knew that Ozzie was a bookmaker and a business
acquaintance of some very dubious criminal types.
As Bob grew up, so did Vegas, now a "town" of some two million.
Ross Miller became a respectable businessman and partner in a major
casino, though he was still capable of settling a score with his
fists.
And Bob went on to law school, entering law enforcement and
eventually becoming a popular governor of Nevada, holding office
longer than anybody in the state's history. And the Miller family's
legacy continues. Bob's own son is presently serving as Secretary
of State.
A warm family memoir, the story of a city heir, with just a little
bit of "The Godfather" and "Casino" thrown in for spice, "Son of a
Gambling Man "is a unique and thoroughly memorable story.
