Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Viva Las Vegas! Gambling playground of the rich and poor alike, home of a million daydreams where the only way to make yourself heard is to shout above the constant din of slot machines paying out hundreds of dollars in small change. But Vegas can be a nightmare for the hapless visitor--after all where's a chap to go to be wed by Elvis, take a helicopter ride down the Strip or find the finest purveyor of 36oz medium-rare rump steak?

Enter this invaluable pocket-sized Timeout guide, which packs an incredible amount of information into it's 290 pages. There's more detail here on Vegas then you would ever have thought possible and listings are varied and detailed allowing the roaming tourist to pick and choose the best places to go and sites to see from hundreds of possibilities. Mini-reviews are included of every destination which manage to be both light-hearted and informative and make this wee volume a good read on the aircraft on the way over to the US.

Accompanied by a potted history of the city, tips on how to gamble effectively and a handful of clear, crisp street maps of prominent areas this is one travel guide no self-respecting visitor should be without. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Building on its reputation as the "Entertainment Capital of the World", Las Vegas now offers an unrivalled selection of attractions to entice even the most jaded visitor. Its upscale restaurants, stylish bars and 24-hour nightlife attract an increasingly sophisticated crowd of global fun-seekers. Re-organized to reflect the rapid pace of change in one of America's fastest-growing cities, the 4th edition of this guide leads readers from the glitz of the strip to the hidden gems of local Las Vegas to uncover the city's unique combination of kitsch and class. It gives comprehensive and candid reviews of the major casinos: where to gamble, where to stay, where to eat and where to shop. It provides details of the most enticing out-of-town destinations, including the Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley and Los Angeles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Packed full of useful information, 29 Feb 2004
This is a compendium. It lists virtually everything you'll probably need when visiting vegas from where to stay to tipping customs in Sin city. In terms of accomadation prices can vary enormously from week to week so it's actually better to check the hotels website for more accurate prices. There's an introduction to each chapter which gives you a flavor of the topic your about to read. It's then followed by detailed factual information as opposed to any critical reviews. What's probably the sacrifice is the lack of photos but I suppose that's a small price to pay. For the most part you probably won't use the majority of the book but it's good to know that you have particular information at hand should you need it, should that be phone numbers or banks. For better and a more up-to-date guide to what's actually going on in the city it might be a good idea to pick up a free copy of What's On when you get there. The guidebook also contains information on the surrounding areas such as the Grand Canyon, Area 55 and the incrediable ghost towns that are only a short drive (by american standards) away. I have also read number of other guides and most are of a similar standard. There's isn't much that distiquishes between them so I think it's purely down to the aesthectic appeal of the books. Things can change really quickly in Vegas so make sure you get the latest edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, accurate - and Fun!, 28 April 2003
This review is from: "Time Out" Guide to Las Vegas ("Time Out" Guides) (Paperback)
I didn't have time to read reams about Las Vegas before flying out - this guide gave me just enough info to get the most from my visit. I quickly threw away the other guide I bought.

The first half of my trip was business (it's convention central in Vegas) and the other half was vacation. I used the book for suggestions for lunching and dining business clients, for finding hotel rooms for last-minute delegates, for finding a hotel for my own vacation base and for trips out of town, eg to Hoover Dam and Death Valley.

Every note and easy-to-read map was spot-on. The book is rigorously honest and deals compliments and brickbats evenly. It gives you an idea of atmosphere as well as factual info, and takes into account a various tastes, circumstances and age ranges. It's a really good all-round guide - I'd buy other Time Out guides based on the quality of this one.

BTW - if you are a vegetarian looking for the best Vegas guide for your needs, forget it. You may as well try to get a good vegie meal on Mars as get one in Vegas. Bring your own instant noodles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Far better than any other guide on Vegas, 29 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: "Time Out" Guide to Las Vegas ("Time Out" Guides) (Paperback)
I spent a long time in a bookshop looking for what seemed the best guide on Las Vegas. I choose this Time Out guide, and I haven't regretted the purchase since. Vegas is a fascinating place, and this book provides everything you need to know and nothing you don't. They've included a section on how to gamble, for example. And the final chapter on where to go out of town is brilliant if you're thinking of a 2-centre holiday because it goes as far as the Grand Canyon and Los Angeles. Definitely recommended.
