Historical Fiction on Gambling in Nevada & One man's story

Clint McCullough's "Nevada" is an amazing look at the rise of the state of Nevada as a gambling powerhouse through the fictional accounts of a strong-willed entrepreneur Meade Slaughter as he works his way up from carnival barker to owner of a major casino. Historical references to actual people and real events make this book an exciting read. Caution: Strong sexual content, exploration of drug abuse and some violence but all are relevant to the plot of the story. Excellent story, well worth reading.
