Just returned from 4 days in Vegas. I had not been to Vegas in 15 years and this book help make it a perfect Vegas trip. Every recommendation in the book turned out to be dead on. From the minute we set down at the airport and got into are waiting Limo, to tipping the check in girl 10.00 to get the room of our choice. I can't recommend this book strongly enough. With it you're an insider knowing what you want to do and when you want to do it getting the most out of every precious moment in Vegas. Without it you're standing in your hotel the 1st day hungry and tired with no idea how to start. Read the book go to Vegas and HAVE A GREAT TIME.

As advertised, this book would be a great resource for someone with limited Vegas experience who is traveling with a group of guys. I visit Vegas often so I picked it up mainly out of curiosity. For the most part, I think the authors hit the nail right on the head. I don't necessarily agree with all of the hotel and restaurant assessments but that's just a matter of opinion. It's tough to argue with their general theories and advice.

I thought the "myths" section in the beginning was particularly well done. Also, throughout the book they have little insets titled, "Classic Vegas Mistake." These alone would be helpful for someone who has never been. I learned some of these the hard way over the years.

As mentioned in other reviews, the book will not be of any help to other types of visitors (couples, families, etc..). Guys who are regular visitors to sin city probably won't find much new either, but it's an easy read and I found myself smiling in agreement often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for men!, May 22, 2006

While this book definately isn't for families it can be applied to travelers other than just men. I just bought this book (I'm a 32 year old married woman)and found some great advice that can apply to anyone that is looking to let loose and have some fun.

I am soon traveling to Vegas with my husband and two girlfriends. The information on the bars and clubs was extremely helpful. We also plan to hit a strip club while there and this book helped us decide. While I've been to several local strip clubs, I have never been to one in a big city and it outlines some of the basics that are different than what I'm used to.

I have been to Vegas 4 other times in the past couple years, but this will be my first trip that is completely social. This will be an exceptional tool to have.
