Moving to Las Vegas

Summary: This book doesn't deliver!
Review: "Moving to Las Vegas" is a very small book with very large print and a glossy cover that makes promises it doesn't keep.

The COVER says, "Tips on landing a job fast." The BOOK suggests looking in the classified ads or through an employment agency. (Duh!)

The COVER says, "Hottest new neighborhoods." The BOOK names a few, but doesn't give any details to help the reader make an intelligent choice.

The COVER says, "The Best schools." The BOOK doesn't say which schools are the best, or where you could go to find the information to compare schools.

The book, really, doesn't say anything useful.

You can gather better information in a hour surfing the Internet. If you don't have time to surf, get a copy of "Experience Las Vegas," a very big book with very small print which DOES deliver the information in detail at about the same price. Amazon, can you put THAT one on your list?

Summary: a good short guide to Las Vegas
Review: Despite a review to the contrary, this is an honest little book that gives people moving to the city an accurate background on how to survive there. It warns newcomers to stay away from casinos if they want to thrive in Las Vegas. Given that fact, it might be the best Las Vegas guide available.

Summary: New edition much better!
Review: I read the older edition of this book, but the newer one caught my eye and I gave it a try. It's a lot different and contains more helpful iinformation. I especially appreciated the inside information on schools and how locals live and what they do for fun here. I keep the book with me--it even helps me shop. It helped me choose a good neighborhood too. I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering a move or extended visit to Las Vegas.

Summary: Cuts through the hype
Review: This book cuts through the hype of coming to Las Vegas and gives newcomers a chance to see the place for what it really is. It's a land of opportunity and of opportunism. It's not an easy place to get settled and the book gives the straight story and also offers the usual list of clubs, relocation companies and so forth.
