5.0 out of 5 stars A tour book surprise, January 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Reno & Lake Tahoe (Paperback)
The Insiders' Guide to Reno & Lake Tahoe stands out as an outstanding tour book. What a pleasant surprise. Most books of this sort are dry and boring but this one is filled with goodies that only locals would know about. The Nightlife chapter stands out as a great piece of writing with an authentic Insiders' voice. The book came in handy on our recent visit to Reno. I would recommend this book tothe first-time visitor.

2.0 out of 5 stars "insider" in name only, October 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Reno & Lake Tahoe (Paperback)
well, as far as a listing of hotels and properties, okay, this book will do that .. but for "insider" information, you'd do better to ask anyone you meet on the street .. there is no help as far as "what's best" or good deals .. the supposedly "inside" secrets tell visitors to be sure to register for casino slot clubs, but not which one is best. It gives buffet prices, but doesn't direct visitors to the best one.

there's little information about what to expect as far a snowfall goes at the lake, nothing to tell you about driving conditions .. there really is just nothing more than a list of properties. And the photographs aren't even original or helpful, they're all provided by outside sources, such as the visitors bureau or even the resorts themselves. The maps are even less helpful .. c'mon, at least pretend like you care!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for the Price, June 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Reno & Lake Tahoe (Paperback)
I bought this book because I had used other Insiders' guides before and this was by far one of the best. I found that this guide had more Insider info than the two others I had purchased. The authors give readers places to go off the beaten path. I especially liked the Kidstuff chapter since I vacationed with my entire family. This guide is well worth the money.
