Summary: The most comprehensive Las Vegas guide
Review: This book is amazing. After visiting Vegas and loving it, I decided to buy this book to prepare myself for the best value dining/entertainment/hotel money can buy on my next visit. I discovered more then I bargained for in this wonderful book. The book is completely comprehensive, it gives you information from flights to Vegas all the way down to golf courses, ranks best resturants/buffets/hotels/shopping centers/shows and much much more. Reading this book you can really see that the people who wrote this knows what they are talking about. From my experience, I agreed with the authors selections (for example, the best seafood buffet Rios). There are details not only on the Vegas strip but downtown Las Vegas. This book is a must if you want to experience the best of Vegas. Highly recommended.

Summary: Comprehensive and very informative
Review: This book is excellent. It deals in depth with the subjects that a potential tourist needs to know about: everything from finding the best package deal to hotel and casino ratings to restaurant and buffet ratings and descriptions. There is even a chapter on subject that I would have thought to have been taboo, e.g., strip clubs and prostitution. Whether you are planning your first trip to Las Vegas or your one-hundred-and-first, you'll find solid information in this book.

Summary: More information than I knew I wanted!
Review: This book is great for the first time visitor or the thousandth time. It rates and reviews everything imaginable from the hotel rooms to golf courses to clubs and shows. I never knew there was so much to know and I have been there many times. I found the information helpful and thorough. There are charts to help you de-code the information and the complex rating system used by the author and his staff, but overall it is an excellent guide for anyone wanting to know more than just meets the eye.

Summary: This book made going to a new city easy and very enjoyable.
Review: This book was very thourough, yet not wordy. It told me exactly what I needed to know to have a wonderful vacation. I especially enjoyed the charts and graphs they helped by letting us know our choices for dining, shows and hotels were just what we were looking for.I would also like to add that the "opinions" of the author were very accurate. I really don't know how I would have survived without this book.

Summary: A little bad information
Review: This is a great book for the first or second time visitor to Las Vegas. Just a few small but important errors. First there was no information for a visitor who may want to rent a house in Las Vegas rather than stay at a hotel. There is a great company called "Vegas Events Plus" who can rent you a great house for a day, week, or month. Plus they can set up any kind of tour or golf outting or anything else you may need. The book's directions to Red Rock Canyon were the same as you can find everywhere. The directions advise you to take Charleston Blvd. from Las Vegas. If you use that direction, you will hit over 35 stop lights and the drive will take you 25 minutes longer than if you go to I 15 south to I 160 to I 159. That way you will hit Bonnie Springs Ranch, then Oak Creek Canyon, then Red Rock Canyon. Using my directions you will save about 25 minutes. The book should also tell the reader which hotels offer 'pay to use the swimming pool' options. As I said, this is really a good book. A lot of the information is common knowledge. Some of it is what the Chamber of Commerce wants them to print. Like the directions to Red Rock Canyon. If you use their directions, you will have to go by at least 300 business sites. Use mine, you go by the "Jack in the Box".

Summary: Comprehensive Information but uncritical
Review: This is a very complete guide book but the "unoffical" title is a little misleading. It surely is unoffical, but its also relentlessly bland and inoffensive. For example, the "Imperial Palace" hotel swimming pool is described as "beautiful." Most of us wouldn't expect to have a grey concrete parking garage right next door to a beautiful pool, right? Well the pool at the I.P. does, with no attempt to screen it from view. The information in the book is accurate, in that if it says "casino X" has a health club, or a pool, or whatever, you can be sure it will. But it looks as if the lawyers have removed any critical word about anything - use it as a guide to Las Vegas, but not as a gospel. A good companion book to carry along with this one is the "Time Out Guide to Las Vegas" which despite being British and rather pretentious in parts, doesn't pull its punches and offers a host of interesting and opinionated views on the city and its attractions.

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.
