Following in the tradition of Hunter S. Thompson, award-winning journalist Marc Cooper describes his longstanding love affair with Las Vegas. Cooper's kaleidoscopic journey begins in October 2001 with the dynamiting of the Desert Inn—the moment when old Vegas "cool" died and the new corporate model claimed definitive victory. From there he takes us on a journey from the glitzy Strip to the frayed downtown, indulging in his lifelong love of blackjack, hanging out with Mormons, mobsters, MBAs, born-again virgins, strippers, lap dance union organizers, gambling addicts, priests, and Vegas's colorful and controversial mayor.

reviewed The Last Honest Place in America: Paradise and Perdition in the New Las Vegas on January 25, 2011 The Last Honest Place in America
I'm on my way to visit Las Vegas for the 4th time in 7 years. If I had my way I'd visit twice a year, heck, I'd love to live there. Marc Cooper covers a broad range of topics about Vegas from transgender strippers, blackjack tips, mob history, and all the juicy local government gossip. Cooper is really blatant about his love for "Old Vegas" which was at first annoying (hey, I like the big exploding volcano) but after diving a little deeper into Vegas' history, I couldn't help but fall in love with the way Vegas used to be even if I'm not old enough to have ever experienced it. There is alot of focus on the post-9/11 economic dip but it manages to remain especially relevant during these recession times. I look forward to returning to Vegas with a lot of new knowledge and a different perspective than those other "fanny-packed Midwesterners"
