The end of the book really talked a lot about the American Dream. A group of college who are extremely smart go by with day to day work. Like Kevin they wanted excitement. Something different than what their parents wanted. Being on the team gave them and more. The American Dream now is more towards having a lot of money and living a good life. In the story that is exactly what they did. They took Vegas for all they could get before someone learned of them.
But, with the continuous gain of money the team had gotten created greed and no trust between the members. Because the team split apart into two groups and went their separate ways. This shows in the end that with the gain of money there also comes greed. In the book Fisher was greed and Kevin was the moderate. Fisher was also getting money but, he was the one who wanted more. He was the one kicked out the teacher who knew everything about Vegas and he was also the one who wanted to take a specific few with him who would put their all into the system. Kevin who had one foot in and one foot out didn't really need to gamble because he had a job that paid well. He was the one just wanted to have fun and not take it as seriously. This book takes the American Dream and puts it in the perspective of a college student just wanted more excitement. He found his American Dream just by gambling and making a good amount of money.
