520    If Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn had come of age at the end of 
       the twentieth century looking for an all-American 
       adventure, they probably would've headed for Vegas. 
       However, they'd have been hard-pressed to go on a wilder 
       ride than the one taken by Tom Breitling and Tim Poster to
       the top of the famed Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino.Call 
       them the Odds Couple.Breitling is the kid who lives next 
       door if you grow up in Burnsville, Minnesota. He never saw
       a hundred dollar bill or The Godfather until he went to 
       college. Poster comes from a family of oddsmakers who 
       reach for the Doritos on football Sundays and scream for 
       the point spread. He was whistling Sinatra and booking 
       games at his Las Vegas high school.Their unlikely 
       friendship began in college over an eight-dollar veal 
       parmigiana sandwich that led to a partnership in a hotel 
       reservation business. Starting with a desk, a chair, a 
       pillow, and a telephone, Tim and Tom grew a company that 
       they sold during the dot.com boom for $105 million. This 
       allows Tim to pursue his childhood dream of owning a 
       casino and bringing back the glory days of Vegas.When Tim 
       ups the odds and raises the limits to give gamblers the 
       best game in town, a craps player nicknamed "Mr. Royalty,"
       who's on one of the hottest winning streaks in history, 
       heads for the Nugget. When he begins to take Tom and Tim 
       for millions, the partnership is put to the test. But Tim 
       refuses to back off on the odds or the high limits, 
       telling his partner, "It's a ballsy proposition here. It's
       gonna be a roller coaster ride. But we don't have a public
       company to answer to. It's just you and me."When Mr. 
       Royalty rolls twenty-two consecutive passes and rakes in a
       mountain of chips, he takes Tim and Tom to the brink. They
       must figure out a way to hold up the House.Just as they do,
       the roller coaster ride really gets rolling-and the ride 
       becomes crazier than they'd ever imagined.
