I am from Ohio and and frequent Las Vegas often. When I first picked up this book, I thought that It would be like all of the others. I also thought that I knew all there was to know about LV because I have gone so much. There is so much information in this book in terms of dining, night life and entertainment, hotels, etc. It is totally amazing to me that I missed so much in Las Vegas. This book really lets you "experience" Las Vegas for what it really is. Whether you are a first timer or a frequent visitor, Experience Las Vegas is an invaluable guide to use for every trip.

Experience Las Vegas is a must for anyone serious about Las Vegas. It is factual, neat, and well organized, and contains a comprehensive index, which helps you locate anything instantly. This big book contains detailed maps, photographs, seating charts, and even statistics on almost everything you can think of. ELV helps me plan my trips, and once I'm there, is an invaluable tour guide. Now I can check my concert seats while making reservations on the phone! The book also comes with hundreds of dollars worth of coupons that you'll actually use. I am a Vegas fanatic, and have not found a more complete, accurate, and up-to-date guide than this one.

I would suggest buying a copy of this book. It is of interest not only to tourists but also to people who might be considering relocating there. Experience Las Vegas is the largest and most comprehensive guidebook to Las Vegas available and has been endorsed by the Nevada State Department of Tourism, Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, Southern Nevada Hotel Concierge Association and many others. The guide includes details on golf, weather, real estate, entertainment, restaurants and musch more.

This book is huge, almost telephone-book size. It contains valuable demographic information. Its disadvantage is that it is now out-of-date. The two very newest and finest casino-hotels are only listed as pictures of "things to come". This guide is out-of-date in other areas also. The public transportation prices are incorrect (too low), and trips to outlying tourist attractions like Hoover Dam or Bryce Canyon, or the Grand Canyon have been changed considerably from those listed. We left our copy in the hotel room, rather than carry it home.

This book is like a super yellow pages of what is in Vegas. I bought it because I needed a book that listed every casino (not just the good ones) and every hotel and every resturaunt. This does it. Full pages are dedicated to the stip hotels complete with layouts of main floors. Where else can you find a book that will tell you if you have to walk through the casino to get to your room. The only problem I have with this book is that it is ONLY facts, very few reviews. However this book combined with another more "touristy" book makes a fantasic combo! I'm sure that this book is in every travel agent's collection.

Being a frequent traveler, and relying on different travel guides, I could not believe the detail of information contained in this book. Not only was I able to find every restaurant in Las Vegas, but also their hours, type of menu and price range. The amount of time I saved researching and making phone calls was well worth the cover price. My only regret is that they dont have publications for other travel destinations

THIS BOOK NEEDS UPDATING!!
Very disappointed; this book is NOT what it claims. Full of OLD INFORMATION and has not been updated. Prices are wrong, casinos not listed, attractions not listed, tours listed that are no longer available. Bought this book knowing nothing about Las Vegas; had a short time to spend, and wanted to make the most of the experience.

Las Vegas is a place that constantly redefines itself. The town is forever changing. What was once 'the place' to be is now in need of re-modeling. This guidebook is fun and has lots of information to say the least, but it's so outdated.UNDER THE NEON SKY...A Las Vegas Doorman's Story
