Guide Review - Insight guides Las Vegas Guidebook reviewed

I personally enjoy this guidebook as it reads like a good souvenir. As a guide I find it hard to completely recommend if you are looking for specifics. The details are lacking about the little things. Sometimes the little things are what makes a trip. Specific topics do not have a place in this book, places such as adventuredome at Circus Circus are not noted while skidoo is. This can be rewarding for those looking for a differetn Las Vegas. If you buy only one guide to Las Vegas this is not it, however, if you want a good all encompassing book, race to the bookstore and pick it up.
