Avant-Guide Las Vegas: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant Guides) [Illustrated] [Paperback]

Dan Levine (Editor)

Book Description

Series: Avant Guides | Publication Date: September 30, 2005

Avant-Guide presents a style-driven guide to the world's largest adult playground. Presenting tips for finding the best bars and clubs for after-hours carousing and the casinos with the best odds and the hottest cocktail waiters and waitresses, Avant-Guide Las Vegas is like no other travel guide to Sin City. This book explores everything you need to know about dining in Vegas, including celebrity chefs, top food, in-style scenes, cheap steaks, the best buffets, late-night dining, and more. Among the suggested lodging and itinerary options is the Mandalay Bay hotel on the Strip, where you can raid the minibar before heading downstairs for some action. There, you can take a few spins on the roulette wheel, get "comped" for a first-class meal at Aureole, Lupo, or another a world-class restaurant, and then delve into the night at Ghostbar atop the Palms or another rooftop bar. Afterward, go to Flyaway Indoor Skydiving, where they have a jet engine embedded in the floor. Then, just before sunrise, head downtown to Binions or the Four Queens for an ironically cheap steak-and-eggs breakfast. And that's just day one.

This review is from: Avant-Guide Las Vegas: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant Guides) (Paperback)

I bought this book after using and fully enjoying the Avant-Guide to Paris. I knew nothing about Vegas before a recent trip and Avant-Guide made sure I was well prepared. It had excellent information on cool and hip places as well as "classic Vegas" and must-see destinations. It covers it from the perspective of singles or couples. This is not a family vacation book or a budget travel book. It is fun to read and easy to navigate. Because of this I also bought the New York book which is equally enjoyable.
