Amazon Review of The King of Casinos: Well-written and thought-provoking!
Amazon Review of the King of Casinos: A FASCINATING story!
"This is an easy read because of Andy Martello's style of writing. It
reads like he's beside you telling the story to you personally. I have
been interested in Nevada history since my first visit many years ago. I
had the pleasure to meet Andy and get him to sign his book at a program
at the Nevada State Museum. Little did I know when I bought the book
that I would have been so caught up in the history of this small Nevada
town known more for its famous senator than anything else.
After
finishing the book, I need to go back and see the Clampers monument and
find the area where WIllie's El Rey Club stood. Perhaps we can get a
group together, rent a backhoe, and look for buried treasure (Sorry,
you'll have to buy the book and read it to join in my quest).
It
is a fascinating story how a chance museum tour would lead to a book
like this. Andy Martello's book keeps you involved. You can't help but
cheer for Willie and hope for the best!
Yes indeed, who knew that Searchlight had so much at one time?"

"The author has crafted a fascinating and
incisive biography of the outrageous and over-the-top Nevada gambler and
casino owner, Willie Martello. The book details, with great precision,
heart, and humor, the sometimes hardscrabble, and always exciting and
glamorous life of Martello, who almost singlehandedly put the dusty
desert town of Searchlight, NV. on the map. Filled to overflowing with
tasty anecdotes of the wild and wooly times of the impeccably groomed
gambling man, the book is further enhanced by DOZENS of super-rare
archival and family photos that show Martello comfortably ensconsed in
his kingdom of lovers, winners and losers. Andy Martello has succeeded
(in spades!) in bringing this important historical figure his just due,
and the story literally begs for a future cinematic treatment. Major
kudos for a brilliant and entertaining work that I will revisit soon."

Amazon Review: The King of Casinos is Surpisingly Refreshing!
"Andy Martello's approach to writing "The King of Casinos: Willie Martello and The El Rey Club" is surprisingly refreshing. Many historic pieces focus so much on dates and linear timelines that they fail to actually tell an interesting story. The author does an excellent job of including the pertinent dates, but only as is necessary to share a fun story. I appreciate that he uses his humorous approach to the storytelling. But more than that, I appreciate that this story became very personal to him and he wasn't afraid to share that. Throughout the book he talks of all of the wonderful people he has encountered as a result of his research, and his love for them shows through. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that this is an excellent biography of Willie Martello and the El Rey Club, a story you will find nowhere else. Andy Martello is truly the expert. As a great bonus, the book is filled with so many pictures and excerpts that your experience is continually enhanced. I truly enjoyed the read."
