I reviewed Fodor's Las Vegas 2010, Frommers Las Vegas 2010, and the Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2010.

I like Fodor's the best. Aesthetically, I liked the glossy and colorful pages. It certainly gave the best information about day trips or side trips to Las Vegas (63 full pages). A pull out map is included which is very handy. There are also maps in the book (as there are maps in the other books). If you are going to Vegas and wanting to do side or day trips I would recommend this book if you can only get one. The information it has about Vegas is much better than Frommers, although not quite as good as .The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2010 (Unofficial Guides).

If you are just staying in Vegas, however, the Unofficial guide has more information and more specific information about Vegas. I felt the dining section in that book was much more comprehensive. The information about shows was also more detailed.

I would stay away from Frommers Guide as it has the least amount of information and it is not articulated as well as the other two.

For me, because I am wanting to spend time on side trips as well as in las vegas (we have a 2 week trip planned), I am using both the Unofficial Guide as well as Fodor's.

Excellent guide for Las Vegas especially for first time visitors. It gives helpful tips for lodging that fits your personal tastes, food, entertainment of all kinds, etc. Small enough to drop in a backpack but too big for a small purse. The pullout map was outdated, but the ones in the book are current.

The map that comes with the book still has several hotels that aren't even there anymore i.e. Aladdin, Westward Ho and Stardust. Geez, update your map!!!

this is my third fodors books review. They are all matching reviews because they are all equally good.

If you are spending thousands of dollars on your trip, it is worthwhile to spend a few dollars on this excellent book and plan your trip so much better. When we plan a vacation, the first thing we ask ourselves is- what are we going to do there. Then we get on the Internet and try to make sense of what people are suggesting. This book tells you all without the hassle of browsing the internet and still not being sure of what to do. They mark interesting things with something called "Fodor's choice" and they have never disappointed.

Very strongly recommended.

This book has got it all-the best places to stay, eat, and visit, both on and off the strip.Very honest and thorough critics and reviews. I really like the "City Itineraries" section-some good advice if you have some time to kill. I have purchased other Fodor's books in the past, and have never been dissapointed. Thank you, Fodor's!!!
