I'm not really into the whole poker thing, but this is a good Vegas story--one about sex, drugs, and cards. McManus writes about Binion's World Series of Poker and tells a great tale--along with the sordid history of Binion's tournament, McManus took his cash advance for the book and ended up making it to the final table of the World Series. I first heard about the book when Geneve's dad bought it for her brother two years ago, and I've heard a bunch of good reviews, so I decided to give it a read.
