John, there are a couple of other books not mentioned above.
"The Chip Rack" is a price guide to Nevada casino chips, and also contains addresses and opening and closing dates for each casino, as well as chip issue dates. No "stories," but more information in one place than any other book.
"The Gaming Table" contains an alphabetical and geographical cross-index to every casino that has ever existed, throughout the world. Addresses, locations, and opening/closing dates are included, as are photographs of many out-of-the-way casinos, matchbook covers, and advertising for some long-gone casinos.
Both books can be ordered from:
KMW Publishing Co.
Dept. E
P. O. Box 17002
Louisville, KY 40217
"The Chip Rack" is $32 plus $3 for Priority Mail; "The Gaming Table" is $35 plus $3.
