In this tale of Las Vegas during the two delirious boom decades before the bust of the Great Recession, a failed actor is slowly losing his moral and existential compass. Douglas Unger pits the ideologies of marketing and consumerism in the casino economy against the erosion of individual and humane values that success in that world demands.
