Busting Vegas
''Busting Vegas'' (stylized as ''Busting Vega$'') is a 2005 book by Ben Mezrich about a group of MIT card counters and blackjack players commonly known as the MIT Blackjack Team. The subtitle of the original, hardcover edition was ''The MIT Whiz Kid Who Brought the Casinos to Their Knees'',〔http://www.amazon.com/Busting-Vegas-Brought-Casinos-Their/dp/0060575115〕 but the subtitle of the subsequent paperback editions was ''A True Story of Monumental Excess, Sex, Love, Violence, and Beating the Odds''.〔http://www.amazon.com/Busting-Vegas-Monumental-Violence-Beating/dp/0060575123〕
While represented as non-fiction by Mezrich, the book contains significant fictional elements. The book is a sequel to ''Bringing Down the House''; however, the team discussed in ''Busting Vegas'' were primarily active prior to the team discussed in ''Bringing Down the House''.
==Synopsis==
The book's protagonist, Semyon Dukach, is recruited by team leader Victor Cassius while attending MIT to play on a highly specialised blackjack team. They employ advanced advantage play strategies like card steering and Ace sequencing. The team deals with the crises of success, and one of the players develops a substance abuse problem that will ultimately prove their downfall. An aggressive investigation by casinos into the teams' various false identities forces them to travel outside of America to continue play, culminating in a high tension climax in Monte Carlo after being caught steering cards.
