History -- Breaking Vegas Vegas Vixen (DVD)

Standing 5'3" and weighing about 100 pounds, this mother of four (three from different husbands) is hardly the typical casino hustler or high roller. But in fact, that's exactly what Ida Summers was during the 1960s and '70s, some of the most dangerous decades in Vegas. With nerves of steel and the looks of Elizabeth Taylor, Summers raked in tens of thousands of dollars in a single weekend--and earned the respect of not only the gangs of Vegas cheats she wrangled, but also the casino investigators and FBIagents that were determined to bring her down. Highlights include intimate accounts from Ida, plus interviews with fellow crossroader legend John Soares, and her nemesis, FBI Special Agent Dave Spencer.
