Great overview plus interesting read!Reviewed 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.Reviewed 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.
Useful GuidReviewed by J. John, 2010-01-12
Went to Vegas in December 2009 and used this book. It worked fine and we liked it a lot...only thing I would like a better would be a bigger pull out map.
Great reference guide, but no CityCenter infoReviewed by PATRICK OBRIEN, 2009-12-30
I purchased this before heading to Las Vegas for a vacation. It was
great to read as a reference guide throughout the trip. No photos
though.
Funny observation: For all the shows, they have to list whether
it's topless or not, so when I looked Louie Anderson's show, it
said NO...just imagining if it was...oh my.
NOTE: This says it's a 2010 issue, but it doesn't have anything
about the new CityCenter. It was written before it opened, so even
though CityCenter opened in December 2009, no references are in the
2010 book...which is a little misleading. They should print this
book starting in Jan 2010, not any earlier.
the best insight on Las Vegas hotelsReviewed by marco, 2009-12-23
I have been travelling regularly to Las Vegas in the last dozen
years. I thought I would need a traditional guide no more, but in
truth this "Unofficial Guide" really offers informations and tips
which would not be differently available.
The hotels descriptions are well written and detailed. An example
amongst many the refined review of the Wynn Hotel, a 4 page essay
that really outlines this wonderful resort.
Less convincing is the "dining section" which deals too much on
famous establishments within the hotels and pays less attention to
local restaurants. In this respect I would considere having the
latest edizion of Zagat at handy.
All in all the best guide to Las Vegas.
