Wall Street Journal columnist Christina Binkley's new book, Winner Takes All, details the recent explosive development of Sin City and the "race to own Las Vegas." The author, who's spent 10 years as the WSJ's lead reporter covering the city should be the perfect person to pen the tome, correct?

Our favorite mistake: Her claim that the Dunes took 27 seconds to implode when it actually took less than 10. (If only because Friess provides a link to the incredible YouTube clip.)
