Summary: Unofficial but Indispensable
Review: This is the best guidebook to buy about Las Vegas. Not only is it full of general information about the city, the sights, the hotels, but it tells you what is worth seeing. Unlike other guides that just give you the basic info without critique, this one tells you the best hotels to stay at, the best restaurants, and which shows are worth the money. It takes into account not only quality and luxury, but also value. If you are only looking to get one guidebook, make this the one. It even warns you when seemingly great attractions just aren't worth your time standing in line.

Summary: Don't waste your $ on other guides...
Review: This is the one you want.Las Vegas is a strange (and strangely fun) place. Opportunities for amusement abound. Unfortunately, so do the opportunities to waste time and money. The current UNOFFOCIAL GUIDE is well written, irreverent and up-to-date. Spend thirty minutes perusing its pages and you'll feel like a Vegas insider. Hotels -- an exhaustive list of them-- are evaluated according to numerous criteria, including cost, quality and amenties. On a recent visit, we enjoyed two superb, off-the beaten-path restaurants -- Wild Sage Cafe and Drai's -- thanks to the UNOFFICIAL GUIDE. And the "sneak routes" -- back roads that allow you to circumvent traffic on the strip -- saved us lots o' time, while giving us the illusion that we actually knew our way around town. Let's face it: when you go to Las Vegas, you want to be able to swagger. The UNOFFICIAL GUIDE won't turn you into Frank, Sammy or Dean, but it gives you the kind of insider info that will put a little swagger in your step.
