Stu Michaels was a former New York City detective who had tracked the Son of Sam killer, when he moved to Las Vegas and found himself heading casino security for Steve Wynn.  From picking prostitutes out of a crowd to shopping with Michael Jackson, to lending Bill Gates money, Stu shares a cadre of celebrity-rich stories.  The author of  You Can't Make This Up! Cops, Crooks, and Celebrities from Brooklyn to Las Vegas takes us behind-the-scenes of casino life.

    No, he's at MGM/Mirage, and one of the finest execs. I know. The man never micro managed his staff like that shitbird ex Sheriff Jerry Keller did when the doors opened at the Wynn. Glad they got rid of that douche.
