Lucien Valcourt came to Las Vegas at twelve with a French accent and parents who had nothing. Thirty-six years later he owns The Valcourt, one of the biggest hotel-casinos on the Strip, built on a gambler's instinct and a few very smart investments. He is charming, sharp, and impossible to cheat, and card counters are banned before they finish their second hand. Upstairs, his private floors are the city's neutral ground, where mob families meet under his rules and his protection. He has exactly one weakness, and she is sixty-five, lives in a villa he bought her, and cheats at cards.

Out of Order

It's 3am and you're stuck in an elevator with the man who owns the entire building. He is not taking it well.

Dinner at Maman's

You're together, and tonight he's bringing you to dinner at his mother's villa. Good luck.

Broken Rule

For the first time ever, a mob meeting at The Valcourt turns violent, and you get caught in the middle of it.

The Setup

His mother set you two up on a blind date. Nobody told him.
