"This collection of Hal Rothman's wide-ranging, brash, and
brilliant essays on Las Vegas offers up a treasury of insights on
the follies and possibilities of the New West. Confident,
passionate, learned and, yes, wise, Rothman is simply one of the
most important voices writing on the region today. He is also a
hell of a lot of fun to read."--Virginia Scharff, professor of
history and Director, Center for the Southwest, University of New
Mexico, Albuquerque, and Women of the West chair at the Institute
for the Study of the American West, Autry National Center, Los
Angeles
"Hal Rothman has been enlightening me, irritating me, surprising
me, and making me laugh for twenty years. Reading his columns
reminds me why. He has long been one of the brashest, loudest,
smartest, and most original voices in the West. Not even ALS could
quiet him. These columns aren't the same as talking to him, but
they come close."--Richard White, Margaret Byrne Professor of
American History, Stanford University
"Hal Rothman is both the greatest Western historian of his
generation and an H. L. Mencken in cowboy boots. Here is a
magnificent collection of his opinion, wit, and wisdom."--Mike
Davis, author of "Planet of Slums" and "Buda's Wagon"
