Las Vegas Celebrity Author Andy Martello Exposes Fifty Year Old Secrets Of Willie Martello's El Rey Club Searchlight Nevada

Many gamblers use the slang term "I'm on fire".
Meaning that the cards or dice, and lady luck seem to be going their way. A good thing for gamblers !
But in reality, fires have played a major role in shaping the way we see Las Vegas today!
   Many  building codes, standards and regulations have come about because of these disasters ...
   Three Las Vegas fires come to my mind ... 
Most recently the Fire at the Monte Carlo Hotel on January 25th, 2008.
 The Las Vegas Hilton Hotel on February 10th, 1981.
And the Tragic fire that took 85 lives at the MGM Grand Hotel on November 21st, 1980.
Three dates that changed the course of history for Las Vegas !
Time for your history lesson ... Where it all really began  ...
Over fifty years ago in 1962 in a small town about 60 miles south of Las Vegas called Searchlight Nevada,
 this small town experienced it's own history changing blaze of destruction ...
A small town Casino known as Willie Martello's "El Rey Club" burned to the ground, a total loss !
Why so important?
The secrets of the "El Rey Club" have been laying dormant for over 50 years,
until now !

With author Andy Martello's book: "The King Of Casinos" ...

The once dormant secrets of the "El Rey Club" are now out in the open ...


See how this tiny casino served as the original blueprint for modern day gambling resorts and hot-spots like Las Vegas. Why the mob in Las Vegas had a beef with this small town club.
And find out how this tiny casino helped launch the illustrious career of Francis Ford Coppola ...
With a one in a million chance discovery of a single photo in a Las Vegas museum, this small town casino would have been forever remembered as a seedy brothel
 in a dusty ghost town in southern Nevada ...
Martello's many outrageous exploits and accomplishments saved this near dusty ghost town of
Searchlight, Nevada from complete extinction !
He should be held in the respects of the likes of Howard Hughes and Hotel Mogul Steve Wynn !
