Tenacity

A Vegas Businessman Survives Brooklyn, the Marines, Corruption and Cancer to Achieve the American Dream

By: Ron Coury

Narrated by: Dean Cain

Tenacity chronicles the evolution of entrepreneur Ron Coury, a major business figure in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the surrounding Western states.

As Coury, a former US Marine, climbed the ladder toward his success, he faced a barrage of constraints, including political and police corruption, bribery, coercion, and even death threats. Along the way, he also had a few offers to settle matters discreetly, with a few well-placed bullets. His choices would have life-altering consequences for many.

How does one retain a sense of ethics amidst an atmosphere so rife with corruption? Coury details the struggles he faced and the losses he endured in this eye-opening look behind the curtain of business during the “good ol’ boy” days of Southern Nevada.

Truth: Stranger than Fiction.

I enjoyed his stories and appreciated his fortitude. Tenacity was a great name for this book. Ron has truly lived the American dream! Dean Cain was a great selection to narrate his story. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Stranger than Fiction

This book is proof that truth really is stranger than fiction. Hard work and a willingness to take chances propelled this marine into a life I can only imagine. Life in Vegas was improved by his desire to do things the right way.

Personally I enjoyed it all. I worked with Ron at the Tropicana. It brought back some memories.

the flow of information was just right. kept the listener wanting to hear the next story. it's amazing how much Las Vegas has changed through the years.
