Excellent for Vegas "rookies"!

I have been to Vegas numerous times and had a friend going for the first time in 20 years. Purchased the book for her and gave it to her prior to her trip. She LOVED it and I found it quite accurate from my experiences there. It's a great book for someone new to Vegas and it's very user friendly.

Las Vegas for Dummies

This book was very informative. It changed my mind about some restaurants that I wanted to go to and helped me plan my trip without a travel agent.

Vegas Baby, Vegas!

I had already been to Las Vegas before looking through this book. But it's filled with great info and a very fun way of looking at it. I have had really good luck with all the "Dummie" books I've read. Having already been there I can tell you that the info the author gives is top notch and right on the button!
