4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, September 26, 2009

I have been to Las Vegas several times and used other travel books. This was my
first purchase of an "Unofficial" book and will not be my last. It's very well
layed out, plenty of good information and good maps. I don't think you will be
disappointed, I wasn't. Well worth the money, especially at the "Amazon" price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't go to Vegas without this one!, November 8, 2009

By	Karen H. (PA) - See all my reviews

I had read the reviews and thought "what the heck, it isn't that much money".

This was probably the best investment for our vacation that I made!

We go to Vegas at least once a year and found a lot of coupons to use - the food coupons got us BOGOs at some of our favorite inexpensive buffets (Gold Coast and Flamingo) as well as introduced us to new places (we got deli sandwiches at the deli at NYNY - wow, they were phenomenal and we would never have tried that spot without the coupon).

My husband and I tend to not be tied to just one casino so we used quite a few of the coupons for free slot play at some unfamiliar casinos - so that was fun as well.

You will recoup the cost of the book in 2 - 3 coupons.

It also is just a great resource - it tells you everything you need to know about every casino - # machines, payoffs, address, buffet costs, etc. For folks who do enjoy trekking around, that info is worth the cost of the book as well.

Much of the book is for non-Vegas casinos (Indiana, Florida, etc.) - we are anxious to see if they begin to include coupons for our PA casinos in future editions.

We are headed back to Vegas in December and - absolutely - we purchased the 2010 guide - we won't leave home without one from now on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Would recommend., December 19, 2009

I read this before my first trip to Vegas. It was very, very helpful. I understand there is not enough room for them to cover everything, but I would have liked to see some reviews of Grand Canyon tours/helicoptor tours. Overall, definity glad I bought this book. By the way, on the helicoptor tours, I HIGHLY recommend Papillion tours.
