“You’ll never be as successful as you want because you don’t demand shit you want.” An old boss told that to me. It’s blunt, but true. No one really wants to help you unless there is something in it for them or it fits into their larger plan. People can’t read your mind.

The history of Las Vegas is full of determined men with outsize egos and grand plans. There was Bugsy Siegel in the 1940s, envisioning a gambling mecca in the desert, away from the reach of law enforcement.
