Zagatsurvey 2000/2001 Las Vegas Restaurants (Zagat Survey: Las Vegas Restaurants)

Rating:
Summary: Could be much better
Review: I have found the Zagat guides to be very helpful in the past. I'm from Utah and the rocky mountain guide told me about several hidden gems just blocks from my house. The other guides have been helpfull because there is not always a lot of good information on night life or restraunts from other sources. The Vegas guide is just too redundant. Other travel guides provide ample information on eating places in Vegas and are able to provide information on gaming, hotels and points of interest too for just a couple bucks more. The Zagat quaint pointers from surveyors are usualy helpfull and unique, however the ones in the Vegas guide are just too conflicting. Worth a read if you fall into one on the cheap, but spend a couple bucks more on a more comprehensive travel guide if you want some good restaurant info.

Summary: Not really up-to-date
Review: I own and use over a dozen Zagat guides, and I have come to respect and depend upon the reviews. So I was sorely disappointed to discover that the so-called 2000-2001 Survey of Las Vegas restaurants is actually a light update of a much older edition. Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and The Venetian have been open for some time now, yet their restaurants remain unrated (though mentioned) in this edition. The tremendous growth in the number of fine restaurants in Las Vegas over the past few years justifies an up-to-date survey.
