Guide Review - The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas - Review

There is a lot that is good with this guide, but it does not read well. I want to put it down. That is not to say that it does not do the job, it does. I am a simple guy who enjoys gambling, drinking and having a great time while I am in Las Vegas. The writing in this guide book never gives me the feeling that I can have an incredible time. It is objective and it delivers the product that guide books should. It just does not work for me. If you are details oriented, this is your book and you will fully utilize it. I on the other hand, I'm a simple guy, I need pictures and diagrams and bright lights to keep my attention.
