This compact (256 pages) guide is written by a long-time resident of "Sin City", a much-respected journalist with a trained eye for top values and remarkable bargains, comfortable hotels and delightful meals, both on and off "The Strip". He wittily describes the gambling hereabouts, but also the options for visitors with less interest in gambling: the theaters, museums, stores and attractions, the out-of-town visits, and the nearby natural wonders.
