For thirty-five years, Randy Rutecki had the best seat in the house-behind the tables at Las Vegas's most iconic casinos. From downtown's ten-cent roulette games to the Strip's ultra-exclusive high-limit salons, he witnessed a side of Sin City that few ever see: where billionaires threw hundred-thousand-dollar tantrums, media moguls tipped more on a single hand than most people earn in a year, and fortunes changed faster than the spin of a wheel. Sleepless in Sin City: Tales from the Graveyard Shift takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the transformation of Las Vegas, from the gritty authenticity of the Golden Nugget's early days to the opulent excess of Bellagio, Wynn, and Encore. Rutecki's front-row perspective captures the city's metamorphosis during its most dramatic decades, revealing the human drama that unfolded under the neon lights while most of America slept. This is more than a collection of casino stories-it's an intimate portrait of the dealers who came from every corner of the world, united by the rhythm of the games and the peculiar democracy of the casino floor. With humor, honesty, and remarkable detail, Rutecki shares the untold stories of legendary high rollers, the unwritten rules of tipping culture, and the behind-the-scenes dynamics that defined an era. Whether you've never set foot in a casino or you're a veteran of the tables, Sleepless in Sin City offers a compelling glimpse into a Las Vegas that's mostly gone now-transformed as dramatically as the city's famous skyline.
