Frommer's Las Vegas

By Mary Herczog

Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Las Vegas features lavish full-color photos of the spectacle that awaits you. This is simply the most frank, funny, outrageous guide you can buy and it's much more up-to-date and indepth than its competition. Our author is completely on top of the latest developments in this fast-changing destination, and she'll make sure that you never miss a minute of the fun. She'll give you an irreverent take on all the casino hotels, with all their attractions. She's also scouted out the very best restaurant choices on the very hot dining scene, and honestly reviews all the casinos, shows, clubs, shopping arcades, and golf courses in town. Whether this is your first Vegas trip, or just your latest, our author will help you make the most of your time. She'll give you a rundown of Vegas culture and casino etiquette, point you to hidden gems and parts of Vegas most visitors miss, and help you plan your perfect Vegas getaway (whether you're throwing a bachelor or bachelorette party, trying to avoid the temptation of the casinos, or just want to squeeze in as many over-the-top only-in-Vegas experiences as possible). If you want to head outside of town, you won't be left hanging. You'll find plenty of information on the parks and outdoor activities around Vegas, including the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, and even Area 51. Frommer's Las Vegas also includes a 16-page full-color photo insert

Customer Reviews

Helpful and Worth It

Frommer's is always a great choice when traveling. This books lists restaurants by taste, selection and price. It lists things to do for free in town. It also vividly describes the shows Vegas has to offer, which is helpful when trying to narrow your show selection down to the top choices. And, the book also has overall area maps and detailed, up-close maps that label the restaurants, free things, and shows it talks about. The slightest complaint I have with this book is that the writers sometimes seem snooty when describing restaurants. Sometimes, I just want to know how the food tastes, not how the place looks. Resoundingly, overall, I highly recommend this book.

Frommer's Las Vegas 2010

This is the best travel book I have had! So much information and very up to date.

Fun To Read!

Although this guide is not quite as up to date and detailed as the others it is well written and fun to read. And the chapter on gambling by James Randi is worth the price alone!
