With plenty of stories, "The Las Vegas Chronicles" is a choice collection for anyone who wants to understand the many twists and turns of Las Vegass long history. -- Midwest Book Review The Las Vegas Chronicles by Andrew McLean is a truly remarkable read. After doing extensive research for my Las Vegas police and Mob books, I figured I knew most everything worth knowing about Sin City. At least thats what I thought until I read this book. In The Las Vegas Chronicles Mr. McLean accurately tells his readers the history of the city, who the key players were-both good and bad, the celebrities, the gaming, trivia, its all there. I highly recommend this book to all readers. And if youre a history buff, a Las Vegas fan, or a bit of both, The Las Vegas Chronicles is a must read. -- Denny Griffin, author Policing Las Vegas, The Battle for Las Vegas, CULLOTTA "Although I lived and worked in Las Vegas, Andrew J. McLeans, The Las Vegas Chronicles is a highly educational and enjoyable read. It seems that with so many subjects, the facts are hard to come by. Factual history is really the core of civilization. We also tend to fictionalize so much of what is our history and Andrew McLean seems to have done his homework of what really happened and has now shared his findings with the rest of the world. The subject of Las Vegas has always captured the imagination and being that its history is so unique, I couldnt put this book down. I witnessed much of what The Las Vegas Chronicles described although until now I never knew how or why so many events happened. The book is laid out in a very organized way so that the reader can fully see the transitions and metamorphous of Las Vegas in chronological order. I sometimes ask myself if I am going to miss something by not reading a particular book The historical information makes this book a great addition to ones library." -- Jay Rankin, author of Under the Neon Sky...A Las Vegas Doormans Story "A wonderfully lucid and fascinating book of the Las Vegas scene during the mobster days and the transition to corporate ownership of the casinos. A fascinating book of stories, facts, and illustrations of one of the most interesting cities in the world. Andys personality shows though in his fluid writing style. A most enjoyable must-read book." -- "BR" Bob L. Riley, Aerospace Engineer retired "Very enjoyable and interesting read. Anyone with a gambling/Vegas background will be interested in this book." -- Al Rainosek, Ph.D. Author Biography McLean is a graduate of Michigan State University, 1972, and resides along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
