TIME OUT LAS VEGAS is a great book about all the pleasurable activities available in Las Vegas, as well as its seamier side. The book also discusses how segregated the city was racially until the 1960s, and how African-Americans were made to feel unwelcome there. Also, there is a discussion on the influence of the Mafia in what has become known as “Sin City.” Finally, there are tips on how to avoid losing all of your money at the gaming tables, slot machines, sports books, and, if you’re a horse-lover, horse-racing betting stations. This book is essential for keeping yourself healthy and safe in Las Vegas, and if you go there without it, you could be declared too mentally disturbed to manage your own affairs.

Very informative and broken down. I have been there a lot so it was not so great for me. Kinda outdated by a few years but for the first timer this book would be invaluable.

I always make sure I have a Time Out guide with me when I am visiting a city with much to offer. I spend two full weeks every fall in Las Vegas and always have the latest Time Out Las Vegas guide with me. The restaurant and hotel listings are comprehensive and varied. No category is shortchanged- they even suggest the best places to get married and offer at least a dozen side trips from Sin City. Attractions and local shops for everything from souvenirs to haircuts are listed. The gambling section describes many of the most common games, which have the best odds, and where the best place to play each of them is.
In addition, the Time Out guides are written in a very entertaining and cheeky fashion. You will be hard-pressed to find a guide that offers as much information on the multitude of things on offer in Las Vegas.

This book pretty much tells it like it is. It accurately describes the tacky and over-priced sights. It also tells where to find the good values and reasonably priced venues. There are sections on all the free goodies you can get and places to go when you get tired of the glitter of Las Vegas.

i’m heading to Las Vegas in September in 2008.i wanted a book that would go through everything that las vegas had to offer. i am not going to gamble. so i was delighted that the book only had a small chapter about gambling.the book listed everything from shopping to eating. the most informative part of the book was the trips of of town, i didn’t realisze California was so close to Las vegas (1 hour flight) so now i’m heading to LA aswell thanks to the book. it also has a wedding section which i found useful as i hope to get married in Vegas in 2009. it had all the information about about getting a marriage licence & the hidden costs.
great read. Well Worth Buying!!!!!
