5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!, 24 Feb 2007

By	James kay "jameskay_98" (UK London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Currently writing my final year architecture thesis on symbolism, and this book has come in great use!
Its orientation around vegas is easily related to other symbolism!
Its a must read if your on the plane to vegas! It doesnt revolve completely around architecture I would recommend anyone who plans to visit! Also great illustrations and lots of pictures!
