A FREE Lecture:
"Busting Vegas" Blackjack Lecture
September 28, 2005 at 7:00pm in 10-250.
Ben Mezrich, author of Bringing Down the House, and MIT Blackjack whiz Semyon Dukach will be on MIT campus to discuss their new book - Busting Vegas. This MIT community exclusive event kicks off their national book tour, which includes radio and television appearances on programs such as 20/20. Mezrich's previous work is the basis of a Hollywood screenplay with Oscar Award winning actor Kevin Spacey producing. In his latest book, Mezrich reveals Dukach's incredible adventures as the Darling of Vegas - a gambling wunderkind who ransacked the most famous casinos across the globe with his unheard of system. An MIT student on the weekday, Dukach spent his weekends as a force on the casino floor, shaking casinos from Vegas to Monte Carlo for millions... but risking his life in unbelievable fashion.

Free for MIT and Wellesley Students with a Student ID. Non-student ticket pricing available here. Sponsored by the MIT Club of Boston.
