Summary: a thinking woman's "myst"
Review: I bought this cd-rom after hearing the NPR interview with the authors. i've been a lifelong fanatic of all things Las Vegas and this particular artifact is something "out there". it reads like a tabloid full of stories that may or may not have happened in Vegas and there are plenty of occasional games to keep my less-than-solid attention engaged. i especially liked how you have to pretend your gambling (by dropping coins into the slot) in order to keep reading the book. the only bad thing is that you have to resize your screen in order to play the "game" but its worth it. i'd definitely recommend it for anyone who's interested in las vegas for more than a weekend of delirius gambling.
