No Holds Barred Naked Truth about Vegas,
This review is from: The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2004 (Paperback)
I travel to Vegas occasionally for business and pleasure, and I am yet to find another guide book that captures the real story about Vegas with as much insight and naked truth as this book. No apologies here, like you'd see in some advertisement-platforms that masquerade as a guide book. I'm sure the author made more enemies than friends in the Vegas establishment by laying bare the truth about the hotels, restaurants and all sorts of Vegas business, including the "escort" business. However, that's the same reason why you should keep this book nearby whenever you're in Sin City.I think the show reviews in the book alone is worth its price. The generous "Consumer Tips" provided for every show, and extensive hotel, nightclub and restaurant ratings provide super consumer value. Do not reserve a room in Vegas before you read the hotels and lodging chapter (Part One). You'll be pleasantly surprised by the things you'll learn about how the "system works." The gambling chapter (Part Three) is another must reading. The section titled "The Way It Is" provides important insight into the industry. Save yourself unnecessary head- and heartache. Read this book before you hit The Strip.

Unofficial Guide is a good buy,
By James Sheehan "jsheehanpac" (Charlotte, North Carolina United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2004 (Paperback)
The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas is one of the best I've seen. It has a lot of good information, is well organized and covers many topics. If you buy only one book, this is it. However, beware that prices in LV are way up this year so call the restaurant if budget is important to you. Actual costs may be as much as 50% higher.
