Las Vegas is a fast-growing American city and tourism keeps growing with it. The sixth edition of this guide to Las Vegas is rewritten and updated to include information on more of everything: more casinos, hotels, restaurants, excursions, and attractions that make Las Vegas a special place to visit. The new hotel/casinos covered include Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, Paris, the Venetian, Planet Hollywood Hotel and the multi-hotel Project Paradise. Gambling expert Avery Cardoza discusses the scene at the tables and describes his time-tested ways of beating the odds. The book is completed by a survey of day-trips to Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, Valley of the Fire State Park, Lake Mead, Laughlin and other sites.
