Description
"The only faint light in the fifth floor HVAC room came from the red numbers of the digital-clock ticking down: 10:00, 09:59, 09:58, 09:57, 09:56... The three C-4 explosives waited patiently for the numbers to reach 00:00. Juan and Larry's hopes of a bomb hoax now had less than ten minutes left." -From Of Dreams And Schemes A thrilling roller-coaster ride to an incredible climax! It pits a highly trained hotel/casino security force on a high state of alert against a professional heist team bent on stealing millions from a casino in the middle of a busy July 4th, 1987 weekend. They succeed! Of Dreams and Schemes also takes a look behind the scenes of the operations of an actual hotel/casino security department. During the author's eight-year stint in the security department of the Playboy-then Atlantis Hotel/Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., he contemplated how one would go about stealing millions from the casino. He wove this storyline around his incredible true-life experiences. His memoirs are a tell-all that leaves nothing to the imagination. The author personally dealt with situations ranging from comedy, fights, theft, fires and evacuations, medical emergencies, deaths and even suicide! All described in vivid detail! Based on actual events.
