5.0 out of 5 stars USEFUL & INFORMATIVE, January 9, 2007

This review is from: The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2007 (Unofficial Guides) (Paperback)

I've been a fan of Bob Sehlinger's "Unofficial Guide" books ever since I bought the DisneyWorld guide some years ago. The Vegas guide is on a par with the Disney books...well-researched, with extensive and sometimes witty reviews and insider tips of hotels, casinos, restaurant options, side trips, gambling info, etc. Once I start these books I can't put them down and always get excited about an upcoming trip! The only gripe, if you can call it that, I have is he focused more on the upscale dining options and didn't include many others, including buffets in detail. However, there are so many restaurants in Vegas, and so many different opinions on buffets, that I can forgive this.

My wife and I spent a week in Las Vegas recently. We've been going there every few years. The information and maps provided come in very handy. The hotel reviews are on the button. We stayed at the New York New York, and the review was about right. Last year, we stayed at the Monte Carlo, and again, the review was on the button. We had some excellent steaks at Mon Ami Gabi, not far from our hotel. If you plan on staying in Las Vegas for longer than a week, you will want this book.

I really like these "Unofficial" guides. Las Vegas changes so much that you almost have to buy a book yearly but I waited for 4 years to buy this one and it's just right! I can't tell you how accurate the information is until I take my trip but it sure has helped in the planning stages.
