About the Book

A provocative story of a life growing up in old Las Vegas. After years under communist rule, Doroteos' family finally gained approval to leave Cuba in 1968. Their father's experience in the most glamorous casinos of the island made Las Vegas a natural choice as a destination. Sin City became their new home and growing up there during the seventies and eighties was an epic experience. "A Life from Old Las Vegas" is a unique coming of age story of a kid growing up there in this historic period. Stories that share insight into city life then from a completely local perspective. Actual storylines run parallel to events that take place during the movie "Casino." An unprecedented time of gangsters and prostitutes with an exploding gambling scene. Very few were there to see the true spectacle of Old Las Vegas in its glory. But when the Vegas strip became more accessible as a youth, the city's bad influences became more real. There seemed no escaping the gambling, clubs and party life that surrounded you. Cruising the strip to check out the prostitutes walking the sidewalk, sometimes getting too close for comfort. Frequently going to the local casinos with the addiction of gambling becoming an ever-growing problem. Life unwittingly became a fight against ending up a statistic in the vast wasteland of degenerate gamblers and addicts that litter Las Vegas.

Although illicit activities were present all around, a young kid's life in Sin City was normal. They ventured out into the desert, raced bikes, played sports, and did the things adolescents would do. Given the freedom to do as he chose and find his own path, the journey of Doroteos' Las Vegas life and beyond was tumultuous. A life filled with amazing ups and spectacular downs. The battle between living the Vegas nightlife and trying to find a semblance of normalcy was an ongoing war. In an attempt to break from the cycle, it was necessary to take drastic measures resulting in unpredictable and astonishing outcomes. A story of a boy unbound by rules finding his way in a city surrounded by sin and temptation. True stories with famous people and real situations make this a unique perspective of a life molded on the streets of Vegas. A life full of adventure with unpredictable paths that people can rally behind and relate to.
