A place whose citizens often gamble with more than just money, where you'd better be able to see what's coming before it arrives, where what happens there stays there because it can't go anywhere else. Jasper Lamar Crabbe is a stubborn, cagey survivor of this Las Vegas. Your guide through this purgatorial city, Jasper has seen it all and he knows everyone worth knowingThe Professor, The Duke, the Marino Brothers, Ginger and the Twins plus a few people who weren't so adept at surviving.

One of the city's most-beloved newspapermen, John L. Smith has poured a lifetime of hard-won, backroom knowledge, whispered tales and pure Vegas mojo into these short storiesstories that take you deep into a Vegas no one else can show you.
