If you are an MBA/CFA candidate and are interested in the economics, drivers, and capital-market-oriented aspects of the gaming, lodging, airline, & cruise industries, I highly recommend this book. The problem with the previous review is that it was written, presumably, by someone who wanted managerial advice. This book is not for managers: it is for future Wall Street analysts. A simple look at the author's background (Vogel's) will tell you who this book's audience is. Wonderful, wonderful book: I wish more Wall Street analysts took the time to write books like this. The only way to get industry overviews like this is via Standard and Poors (S & P) or the sell-side, both of which are VERY expensive.
