This is a great guide book for Vegas. The author has personally visited all the hotels and attractions and is very honest in his reviews. His is an "everyman" perspective matching well with what I've found when I've visited there. He also provides updates and corrections on the website http://vegas4visitors.com , which is really helpful when this town changes on a weekly basis. I highly recommend this book for any first-time Vegas visitors and also anyone who wants to know what they missed when they were there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Vegas Guidebook Ever, January 27, 2006

By 

Polly Palmer (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moon Handbooks Las Vegas (Paperback)

I love this guidebook. I've been looking at many travel guides for Vegas lately, but this one is by far my favorite. It contains a witty writing style that matches the feel of the city. The author is brutally honest about every sight, lounge, hotel, and restaurant, lending his own experiences as trial runs for vacation planners. For me, restaurants and hotels are the areas I need the most help with while traveling, and this book did a great job of breaking down the pros and cons, fronting advice, and reassuring my travel worries. This guide really helped to sort out the overwhelming choices. I highly recommend it!
