Good local knowledge overview

If you take the time to read the introduction to this book, you'll find that the editor put together an experienced team of writers for this (first) edition of Best Places Las Vegas, many of whom are Las Vegas natives or almost so. Too often, guidebooks are written by people who fly into a place for four to six weeks, learn as much as they can (which is not much) and then bang out a book based on that and a little follow up research. Not so with this book; truly, it reads almost more valuable for a resident than a visitor, as most visitors are tourists who are looking for guides on how to be a tourist, not insider information. Mr. Reza has also written and edited for Time Out Guides, a series I adore and trust, so I think it's better to take into consideration that while the writing styles (of all the authors) found in this book may not be YOUR style, the information is accurate from a local perspective!
