Would You Read This Book?

Jon: If you end up writing this book and have it published, I certainly would buy it. You do have a way with words for sure.

I like the idea, and would definitely buy a copy. I am not a marketing expert but it seems to me that Vegas junkies would buy the book, as well as some casino employees.

As an admitted Vegas junkie (and previous Vegas casino employee) I know some of my favorite websites are the ones with stories submitted by cabbies, dealers, and cocktail servers. You are absolutely correct that the front-line workers are the ones who make the wheels in Vegas turn. They also have the most interesting stories, and would likely be happy to share. I always enjoyed talking with my co-workers about our backgrounds and our paths to Las Vegas. I worked surveillance at two major strip properties in the 90's alongside people from across the country and around the world. Very few were born or raised in Vegas. Very few ever planned on working surveillance in Vegas. Some had truly amazing stories.

You will have to spend a lot of time finding and interviewing people, but the end result could be a great read!

Will you be replacing your current pic/avatar with a new pic of your Pulitzer?

Jon, on the publishing side, you should be able to easily find the resources you need using the web.

The stories from the everyday folks would make for a good read, as they HAVE seen everything. I would very likely buy your book as I, like everyone else enjoy your TR's and look forward to them each year.

Jon, if you'd like to chat about books, writing, publishing, working with HP and other publishers, pitch-writing, whatever, send over your email or phone number via pm and I'll hunt you down.

Thank you for all your input. My trip this summer I will add some small excerpts and see how they're received.

As long as I get an autographed copy I'll buy and read it.

Definitely!!!

Glad your doing trip reports this summer. Even if youre just doing the run-of-the-mill Vegas/Laughlin runs they are still very enjoyable.
