Las Vegas GuideReview by Traveler, 2010-08-06
This book is the second edition that I've bought. I previously had the 2004 edition. I also buy the Unofficial Guide to Disney World every year. The information is up to date, clear and concise. Both destinations change so much from year to year that I like to keep up even if I'm not traveling that year. I just came back from Vegas, the book was spot on, and kept me in the know. This book will save you time, trouble and money.
Perfect Vacation Guide
Review by Amazonite, 2010-07-23
In July 2010, we went with another couple to Las Vegas for a combined anniversary celebration (25th and 20th). Not only did we use this book for planning the trip, we literally carried it with us while we were there for guidance and trusted opinions/reviews. Yes, very touristy of us to whip out a guidebook and read it right on The Strip, but there is no shame in that town! It became even more clear once we got there that the information was on point every time. Especially in an area where there are so many choices and limited time, having a way to sort through the overwhelming amount of offerings was extremely helpful and enhanced our experience. Not bad for a $20 investment!
Good book to read
Review by G. Brill, 2010-05-10
I bought this book to accompany me on a recent trip to Las Vegas. The book is an interesting read and contains loads of useful information. There are no pictures but the style of the book makes it easy to read and very informative. I particularly went for this guide book as it was very up to date which is often important.
Great overview plus interesting read!
Review by Lauri H. Goff, 2010-02-10
The author(s) of this book did an excellent job of adding flavor to the details of visiting Las Vegas. The humor, honest commentary and useful tips added greatly to my planning of my 15th trip to Las Vegas.
You get hotel reviews, show details, shopping tips and general fun knowledge sprinkled liberally with tidbits of Las Vegas history and reference points on new vs. old Strip locations.
Buy this one - it was fun!
The more i look at this book the more i like it.
Review by reviewer, 2010-02-07
I purchased this along with Fodor's Las Vegas 2010 and Frommer's Las Vegas 2010. This book has the most pages. They break down everything in terms of a rating, price, etc. for shows they tell you the slowest time of the week for the show, the length of the show, as well as a description. It breaks down the top restaurants and buffets.
This book has information regarding shows, hotels, restaurants, nightlife. There are little tips here and there but none i found that i didn't already really know.
What I don't like is that there are no pictures--and there are very few visual breaks for me so sometimes the pages can be a bit overwhelming. I loved the Fodor's book the best for layout and pictures as well as side trip information.
The difficulty in rating is that there are some things I like about Fodor's better and it gives better information and some things I like about this one better--this one has more information about buffets--which kind of excite me. I'm wondering if the only thing i will be doing is eating!
After looking at Fodors and this book over and over, it really has become more of a tie for me between the two. Frommers on the other hand is clearly not on par with either of these books and provides the least amount of information on everything.
If you are only looking to be in Las Vegas, then this is probably the best book. If however, you are like me and also wanting to do day trips or side trips, I would also purchase Fodor's Guide to Las Vegas 2010 as it has a lot more information about those. (63 pages on side trips--as opposed to 6 pages in this book).
I hope this help you make a decision on which book is best.
I learned from this book about the "M" casino that has an excellent buffet for fairly inexpensive. it is a little south of the strip so a lot of people don't know about. so far, it is our favorite buffet. although we will be going to Wynn soon because they are suppose to have an excellent buffet also.
I highly recommend buying and reading at least 1 of these guides--this or fodor's as there is so much information that you may not find out if you just come.
