    OPINION: The road to fascinating reading by Nevada writers starts here

    This holiday season, give the gift of gritty insider accounts, compelling history and poetic beauty from Silver State scribes.

    Opinion

    Cars drive along the Las Vegas Strip on Aug. 2, 2025. (John Locher/The Associated Press)

    Nevada’s literary road winds through fascinating country, some of it rough and rutted and much of it seldom seen by the tourist and tenderfoot.

    At this time each year, I like to take a road trip through that rich and strange land and offer a few reading suggestions. Just remember, as that old sign of a bygone era warned travelers on the edge of the known world, “Beyond this place, there be dragons.”

    And speaking of dragons, Anthony Cabot’s Casino Redux: Unveiling the Global Casino Network of Chinese Organized Crime is a sweeping compendium of stories about the use of casinos from Las Vegas to Macau for the purposes of money laundering and political influence.

    Cabot, the longtime Las Vegas-based gaming law expert and author, knows his material and presents it in a straightforward style that sends a clear message that should alarm anyone concerned about the blending of the underworld and upper world in business and geopolitics.

    It’s hardly a spoiler alert that many of the stories emanate from or lead back to the Las Vegas Strip, whose titans have long paid lip service to the fight against money laundering while managing to profit from the movement of illicit cash across the green felt. For those of us who have studied this subject and continue to investigate it, it is a welcome addition to the canon.

    Many of these stories have been told publicly, but their collective weight is a ringing reminder that overwhelmed Nevada regulators are under pressure to fight to maintain the credibility of an industry that traditionally hasn’t been overly motivated to do that for itself.
